Staying One Step Ahead of Her Teacher

Me: "I says /i/ as in 'igloo.' What is another word that begins with the sound of /i/?"
Anna: "Ishmaelites"
Me: "Wow, that's definitely a good one...I was thinking of a word like 'in' or "ink."

Me: "Today we're going to learn to count by 10's to 50."
Anna: "Mommy, I already know how to count by 10's to 100. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100."
Me: "Hmmm...well, so you do I see."

Me: "Our word for Word Time today is..."
Anna: (reading the card that I'm about to hang and pronounce) "Hibernate"
Me: "How did you already know how to say this word???"
