Have to tell you this story then.  When DS was 2 I took him in to the child 
health centre for the appointment.  Mentioned that I thought he might be 
bright.  Well, what a look I got!  Plainly, I was one of those pushy Mums 
(goodness knows why; I live in Western Sydney, not the Eastern Suburbs) and 
she sort of ignored it.  Later on she asked, "So, is he saying about 20 words, 
then?" (which is typical of a 2yo).

"Um, no, over 120."

"Ohhhhh!"
