I see what you mean... well, I guess I will never know :)

At the age of 3 with my magnetic letters I could write words also complex ones, at the age of 4 we have evidence that I knew how the stages of pregnancy worked basing my knowledge on a maternity magazine I had stolen my mom to the point of explaining the basics to a 9 years old girl. The story goes like

"See? these are the monsters!" (pointing at pictures of phoetuses on the magazine
"here it sais phoetus, and phoetus is the monsters. The monsters grow big and become a child. 9 months later the child comes out from here"
(when I said "9 months later" I apparently pointed first to the first ecography and then to the last baby picture in the womb 8O )

which was my way of explaining her the first part of the answer to the question in her homework "what is the difference between mammals and oviparous?" at which point I went to get another magazine from my room with snakes on it and the girl's mom stopped me by yelling at her like crazy because "even a 4 years old knows!"

But there is no evidence I read about that, only thing I know is nobody had told me.
A few weeks earlier instead I had answered another question for the same girl, her mom was asking her the names of bee houses and I promptly answered "hive!", mom asked at the kindergarden if we had talked about bees and hives but the answer was no.
No one knows where I got my knowledge from and how I even got access to it.

Only thing adressing to me being able to read before school is that the first day in school I had read a new school mate's name (for privacy I will make up one similar but not give the right one) say "Maria Angelina Santanché" and I found in the telephon book a lady who's name was Santanché Maria Angelina and wanted to call her because I liked the girl. Okay, the town was wrong :lol: and it wasn't her :lol: still I found it before I was tought reading :)


Even understanding the basic knowledge of pregnancy at 4 is amazing! Being able to put complex words together with your magnetic letters at age 3 is advanced for the age. You were incredibly bright!
