My children at four or five could have conversations and back up their opinions.

Trump can't rise that high.

My youngest freaked a woman out in Walmart once. I was looking at a pallet of Rubbermaid storage containers, and he was talking about how the brand was good, the features of it, price an so on, when a woman was walking by. I didn't think anything of it, he was always like that. She almost ran her cart into a display, she couldn't stop staring at him while we talked about the various brands of storage containers.

He had a doctor's waiting room in stitches as we looked at a boating magazine, discussing various boats and how much fun it would be to have one, to go sailing somewhere. People couldn't believe this young child was actually understanding what the article was about, not just saying "pretty boat, Mommy".

My other two boys are just as smart. I just wish they'd all had more ambition and done something with it, but they're content so I am happy they're happy.
