Every night after dinner,my mother and I would sit at the kitchen table.She would present new tests,taking her examples from stories of child geniuses she had piled into a basket in our bathroom.My mother got copies of these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned.And since she cleaned many houses each week,we had a great many of them.She would loot through them all,searching for stories about remarkable children.The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries.A teacher was reported as saying the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly."What's the capital of Finland?" my mother asked me in her thick Chinese accent,looking at the magazine story.
