My daughter Hallie has always been special, having first announced her arrival in her grandmother’s dream and then developing at a lightning pace in spite of arriving eleven weeks early. She has leapt to the top of the growth charts, is taller than kids twice her age, and has a speaking vocabulary of 400+ words.
Now she’s showing other signs of being special. Two days in a row, she has shown signs of being able to read minds. No kidding! Read the details of the first episode and also the second one.
It happened to me today at lunch while I was looking at the day’s mail. I received a mailing about N.C. State’s baseball team, with pictures of players. I was absent-mindedly looking at pictures of two pitchers, each in the middle of a wind-up with one foot kicked up.
I looked up when Hallie blurted “kick!” I turned the mail over to see the side Hallie was seeing. It was opaque! And I hadn’t shown the pictures to her. Somehow, she knew what I was seeing.
Wild!
I knew you were going to say that…
