> > This sounds... well, sort of... like me. I think I started a tiny bit later. I'm told that I was reading something at about four, and when someone thought that I knew the story from hearing and was just parroting what I had heard, mom pointed out that I had never heard it before. No, I don't remember what book it was. ^_^

Hey, my sister and I used to do that! We made little slips of paper and tried to come up with stamps to use for the due date. However, the only letter/number stamps we had were about the size of keys on a keyboard, so that didn't work very well. We also spent hours playing school and house. Being the older sister, I was always the teacher and the mom. :)
