[quote=Anonymous]Ehh. I have an early reader. I know it means nothing in the long term, but yeah, I feel smugly proud about it. My kid is doing something cool. I bet you feel the same way, just be honest. If your preschool teachers haven't noticed, but strangers in a waiting room (when you're present) have, you're almost definitely being show-boaty about it and having DC read out loud in public. If s/he was doing this on his or her own all the time, the teachers would definitely know. People are reacting to YOU. Just face it. It'll stop soon enough when all their kids read too and it's nothing to notice. For now, just try saying something like "Yeah, I find this reading stuff really crazy. I never read early and s/he just gets it and it's neat." It'll make you look more human and less faux-blase. [/quote]
