Parental pride was evident in every word spoken of his twenty month daughter.

"Yes" the listener agreed patiently and not without a little sarcasm "she's obviously very bright. Isn't she reading yet".

"Next week she starts on War and Peace"

"Why wait"?

"Because she has to finish Anna Karenina first"
