Medical Diagnosis

[porphyry]

A., who is four years old, developed an ear infection last week secondary to a bad cold.  He volunteered to Malkhos yesterday why this happened.

"The blood ran away from my ear to my testicles!  That's why my ear hurts."

Clearly he's been reading Malkhos's books on ancient Greek medicine.

He really did.

I know all parents like to think their children are exceptional, but I harbor no such ideas that my children are.

A., however, verbally has always been extraordinary. People are continually astonished at how articulate he is and think he's much older (he's also very tall for four) than he is. He's talked like a grownup since he was about two.

I may have easy access to two-tone goats, and you have an expressive child with a brilliant medial mind. That's nothing to shake a stick at!

True, but I still wouldn't mind having a pet goat.
