Genius

I have never met one in my whole life, until today, in the daycare.

One of Yaya's classmates, Andrew, a Chinese boy, was sitting there, with the kindergarten teacher, who just came over to drop off the kids. I could not help but noticed that the kindergarten teacher was staring at Andrew, kept asking him "how did you do that?" Looking down on the piece of the paper in front of Andrew, I saw a dozen of maths formulas, most of are multiplication. You would think it is advanced for a Pre-K kid to be able to do 5*5, or 5*10; but isn't it genius for him to be able to do 15*8 in less than 10 seconds?

Wow, amazing!

(Well, while I was writing this, hubby came over and did not think this is worth being amazed. Just quote his words "if you met me at that age, you would be more astonished..." Wowwwww.....)
