When I was about 6 or 7, I set about memorising the dictionary
There is a lot in our backgrounds that is similar. This is not one of those things :)) I don't believe I saw a dictionary, or at least got to hold one even briefly, until I was about 12. I would say my literacy was severely delayed, and my exposure to reading material gravely deficient.😆
But memorizing the dictionary--that's an interesting goal for any child.
I must be moving back and forth into parallel universes
Heavens, I feel that way all the time 😁
