Last night a rep from an educational company, claiming to not " sell you anything cos i am on a wage" came for a visit. as we expected, she ended up trying to sell us their $6K educational software that is almost certain to produce lil einsteins!!
She preceeded to "test" my son and got rather amazed at how "clever" my son is (pullleeezee, don't i know that already??) and not forgetting little megan, also got her to "test" their pre-school pre-reading program. admittedly, it is a good program - maths, english and perceptive skill building program - we would've purchased one for the kids, if we haven't one already - we got joseph this similar maths program (which is still under-utilised at present!!) years ago.....
anyway, the interaction between the rep and joseph was simply entertaining to say the least....
rep: now joseph, tell me who you think is the smartest kid in school?
joseph: *hmmm* what?
(you could see that THAT question did not make sense to my son!)
rep: its not a trick question, love. who do you think is the smartest kid is your class?
joseph:*looking over to me, bemused*...err....
rep: i am sure you know who the smart ones in your class....can you name someone?
(at this point, i KNEW what he was thinking and he was going to say it!!)
joseph: (with all the confidence of a 7-year old!!) I AM pretty smart you know
rep: *embarrased*...oh yes, of course you are! it would be YOU!
ode to joseph....
