Years ago....early reader.
3.6 years old:
Him: Upset. "We can't go in there. It's a bad place."
Mom: "What do you mean it's a bad place?"
Him: "They sell drugs"
Um, it's a drugstore.
Fast forward to 10 years old:
Reading in Proverbs
Him: "What's a harlot?"
Mom: explains and notices kid getting a highlighter and marking passage.
Mom: "Why are you highlighting it?"
Him: "For future reference."
Same age, audited college class:
