The other day, James picked up the first Harry Potter book and began reading.
"James," I asked, "haven't you already finished that book?"
"Well, Uncle Jim read it to us, so I have heard the story, but I haven't read it myself. So now I am going to."
A day later he asked what the date was. When I told him, he did some quick mental calculating, and then said, "Well, then, I read all seven Harry Potter books in 24 days."
"You are done already? You just started that book."
"Well the first one is one of the shortest," he explained, matter-of-factly.
Check. Mission accomplished.
