SMARTER THAN EVERYBODY

Ayla and I sat beside the gas fire, she was on my lap, her owl-print blanket sprawled across us both. Her dark pearly eyes met mine, wide and excited, as her four-year-old voice boasted, "My brother, he's really smart. More smart than everybody in the whole world, because he does math. He's the smartest brother I know. The only person as smart as him is Isabel. She's very smart. They're smarter than everybody, besides from Moms and Dads..." 

Yup. So there you have it folks.
