17 months is still considered an infant?

So what! My granddaughters can speak read and write 3 languages! And the 17-month-old is already toilet trained.

What’s even more amazing is that he can read better than some high school graduates.

Big deal!

My little girl directs a 12 bed emergency room and a 12 bed intensive care unit for a hospital in Arizona.

(She's 31................years old).

The “Signing Time” series is exceptionally good. Our grandson learned very quickly with it. Once he started learning sign, his spoken vocabulary increased dramatically, as well. It was as if he made the connection between concepts and words by seeing them signed. (It also helped that he got what he asked for when he signed and said it.)

Quick, get her in public school so that she can learn to “prefer communism” and understand that gay sex is “normal”.

This is another sad case of what home schooling can do to a child. Where is an accredited teacher from a socialist government run indoctrination center when you need one!

This is great but not unheard of; I taught myself to read before the age of three, using TV commercials. They attract the attention and the voiceover follows the print, and given enough time are an excellent training tool...much better than the insipid “educational” TV.

Not to worry. She can socialize with the pro homosexual groups in the indoctrination centers.

“What’s even more amazing is that he can read better than some high school graduates.”


Is that saying very much these days?

Hey, maybe they can tease her about still being a virgin at 17...

and if she was a boy, they could beat her up in the bathroom, or offer her drugs, etc.

My son taught me how to play Call of Duty when he was 8.
