Well then, I thought I was one of the oldest, I can now say that I'm 51 in experience with the brain of a twelve year old. That means I play soccer every week and suffer the dire physical consequences over the following two days.
I started to read at 8 but only during eternal Canadian winter. Summer was for working the land, my uncle's land. I started to drive the tractor at 5 and when there was time I played with the river in the backyard. I just wish my kids could have had such a magnificent toy.
PS. Starting to read at 8 means having fun at it; reading a novel. My first was Robinson Crusoe.
