Talented and gifted
As most mothers do, I truly believe my kid is a genius. I was just reading an article about how to tell if you are raising a “gifted” youngster. The authors listed examples like “does your child show compassion for animals?” and “does your child seem intersted in numbers and math?” Signe spends equal time swatting at and using “gentle” pets on our cat, and I’m not sure she even knows the concept of numbers yet. But then, the article said these examples only apply to kids who are at least two years old. (Sig is not quite 14 months.)
Regardless, all the proof I need of Signe’s brilliance is in her newfound ability to whistle.
Shit you not: the kid can whistle.
Given that I couldn’t whistle until I was fourteen, and my little sister had to teach me, I think Signe is off the charts brilliant.
Course, the paragraph above might say more about me than it does about my daughter.

I cannot stop laughing at your line, “Shit you not: the kid can whistle.”
