In school, I always seemed to have my nose stuck in a book. As I got older, I would often sneak a flashlight into bed so I could read past my bedtime. The only point I was trying to make is that my child's reading abilities far exceed my own at that age, and I think it's mainly due to the example that her parents have set.

OH! I'm so relieved.
I really thought I was an odd duck - well, I am, but for different reasons, maybe.
I did the same thing with the flashlight!
And I hope I didn't belittle your point. I was actually attempting to support it. Just had to throw in my little 'oddity' with it.
