Yeah well, their parents aren’t...

Riddle me this:

I’m sitting in front of the heater, when I was 3. I am trying to copy the logo, which is the name of manufacturer in cursive.

My Mom, inquires what I am doing. Now, I don’t know what words specifically I used but, it was something along the lines of “copying that”

Before I hit kindergarten, I am writing in block and cursive, as well, reading the newspapers and doing multiplication and division.

Heck, I read “Lightfoot and the Deer” before I was in kindergarten.

Now, imagine if my Mom wasn’t so interested in what I was interested in?

My Dad handed me “Khalil Gabrahn” and something about poems.

I didn’t understand the book but, whatever. My dad handed it to me and I read it....

What if he hadn’t been interested in my developing myund?

When my boy Karl was about 4-5, we had to put him in a daycare camp for a few weeks when my wife was overseas. Catholic nuns and whatnot. They took the kids out to walk around the building. The teacher told the kids to be quiet. She pointed to a sign and told them it said “No talking”. My boy piped up and said “No. It says no parking.”

Very early on, my two boys were reading and spelling stuff using the magnetic letters on the refrigerator at my Mom’s house. Some had to be censored, LOL.
