He wants to be a Ninja Turtle....that’s your first clue.
I watched him reading some books. It was horribly tedious, so I gave up watching. I question the number of books read. The video I skimmed over was almost 3 hours IIRC. Would not be surprised if the parents planned this to go on Steve Harvey’s or Ellen’s show.
Should he become a journalist, advice is to learn Latin.
Give the poor kid a bat, ball and glove and tell him to get over to the ball yard.
“Seems fake.”
If, at grandson’s birthday party (6 years old) the other day, I had not seen one of the kids he goes to school with, start reciting the periodic table ( the last one I recall was palladium ) I would not question entirely this kids reading abilities.......
This four year old is negro and from Chicago. There are some things that he could do that I could maybe believe. Field strip a Keltec 9. Roll a blunt. Cut an ounce of cocaine with manitol and package it up in one gram bags. Memorize every licence plate of the men who come at night to visit his mamma. Or gran mamma. Road one elementary school level book written in standard English and answer basic comprehension questions after a ten minute delay from reading the last page? Maybe one half of one percent chance. Adults are pimping this child looking for money.
Don’t they forcibly retire ninja turtles when they turn 20?
Wonder how long the books were?.
I think they just graduate from being Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Adult Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Galt’s speech ?
The fact that mom was pointing to the words tells me that he can't read with any degree of proficiency unassisted.
He sure doesn't know reality if he wants to be a Ninja Turtle.
I never said it wasnt a publicity stunt. Doesnt make it
Impossible. DD often will read 15 to 20 on her own with no encouragement.
Kids like this almost always wind up leading very,*very* unhappy...and often very *short*...lives.
Kinda like I was thinking.
