should I be amazed that the little five year old I supervise at my job can spell and write my eight letter name?
No. I think that's normal, no?
Around where I'm from we all had to reach a certain aptitude before or by five years old because that's when we register for kindergarten. At present I still enjoy reading and writing...but when I was about four or five I liked writing so much that I went around my house with a green crayon initialing various walls :o
Bad Livy
I'll probably limit my potential offspring to the Crayola invisible markers, the ink will only appear on special paper, I LUV IT ALREADY!
