PB and i confirmed that the lil’ brat of ours.. is street smart but not book smart at all. She can repeat whatever you’ve said.. and remembers it for days.. but she wouldn’t say her 1,2,3 .. or ABCs.
She knows exactly what you are telling her.. and replies smartly .. but refuses to sit and read a book or even have us read a book to her. The longest she ever sat thru’ a reading was like 10mins.. max..!
And really it’s not even that we are lazy.. we try.. and try and coax her.. even by bribing her.. with smarties.. but nope.. she refuses to say .. 1,2,3,4,5. She would say.. only 1, 2, 3, 5, 17, 18 and the strange thing is .. we never taught her 17s and 18s .. so where did she get that from..?? And she is able to count in spanish.. because i caught her repeating after Dora the cartoon.
She remembers to fix her pockets properly.. because “gary is gonna give her money, to be put in her pocket”. See what i mean by being street smart..?? Should we be getting worried..?? oh-oh..!!
