Oh man, I've got tears!
I don't dare post it here but years ago a brother-in-law was reading Little Red Riding Hood to his 3 yr. old son. It had been spiced up to the point where I chose to leave the room. He thought nothing of it, saying his son was too young to know or remember any of it. Much to his surprise when the son was in his late teens he handed his dad, my BIL, a copy of Little Red Riding Hood and said "dad, can I sit on your lap while you read this to me again like you did a long time ago." Needless to say, his dad was floored that he even remembered. I wasn't surprised, the kid had been tested early because he showed signs of high IQ. Found out it was something like 140, had his first Phd. at age 20.
