I'll Bet You're Not As Smart As This Girl

A 19-year-old college professor. What the?

She was apparently talking and reading at 8 months. I just saw my nephew who's 6 months old, so this puts things in perspective.

Now she just needs to start working at a good school.

According to my mother, who was illiterate in English until I was about eight, I spoke at six months was reading at a year or younger. (Something like that.) Unfortunately or not, I got hooked on video games and general laziness, dropped out of high school and dropped out again when I finally went to college (to play Lunar on the Sega CD). So I'm smarter than that girl, but she's probably made many more good decisions in a shorter time.

If only my mom weren't a hick. :( But I made my own way.

I was reading elementary books before the end of kindergarten, but that's about it. Nothing prodigious.

I was running before I turned a year old. I broke more bones than a toddler should D=

I played tag at my first birthday.

Bitches.

I tripped and fell in the hallway and smashed a nightlight with my face when I was like 2

YEAH ALL YALL CAN SUCK IT

Yeah, I wouldn't believe her. You could have been saying random things while looking at words, and she thought you were reading.

I learned to read at two.

Me too. Falling down the stairs was a pastime for me. I was kind of hyper, I guess, so I ran around all the time. I guess that's why I was able to run a 6-minute mile and a 4.6 40 while in high school/college.

My IQ is *this* big, so curse all you genius-types.

Edit: This shit is still impressive. Whenever I hear about people like this, I think of past lives, like this was a well-educated adult who got reincarnated.
