...okay, so I forgot to tell the funny thing that happened after Mason took his test. Ms. Fry, the librarian, who is super-into Mason ever since the day at the open house when Mason ran around the library yelling, "Look at all these books! I LOVE this place!!" -- asked us how he did. I told her he passed with a 100% at the 1 - 1.5 level, and she congratulated us. There was a teacher standing there I didn't know who looked at Mason and instantly registered that he was an early reader and so she asked if Mason was a student on the science side or the Montessouri. I explained he was over at science, and Mason piped up that he wants to be a marine biologist "and explore the deep use a submersible and discover new species." The teacher nodded her head with that kind of vaguely baffled/impressed as hell look Mason gets a lot, and said, "And I'll bet you will."

It made me laugh.
