Yesterday my seven-year-old, who is in a combined second/third grade class at school, said to me,"You know Eli Hernstein, Mom?"

He did?" "Yeah." "Isn't that a little, well—" I fumbled for a word, "sophisticated for a second grader?" "Mom," she breathed, rolling her eyes, "he's in third grade. He got moved up." "Oh. Oh, well, then. In that case..."
