'very gifted children'

I was booked to do a tour for a group of 'highly gifted children' yesterday and worried more than usual beforehand imagining high flying questions about architecture or a subject of my least expertese from a load
of little smart asses.  However they were lovely kids quite out of their depths until we reached every child's
favourite character from history - Henry V111.   At one point I was telling them of one of the Abbot's of yesteryear and said he was known as a 'workaholic' and expected all his community of monks to be the same as he which did not make him very popular.  Seeing what I thought might be a few blank faces I said rather condescendingly 'are you all familiar with this term - workaholic?'  - lots of nodding heads so I said 'explain it please someone'  and a very bright kid from the group said  -  'Abbot David drank a lot and forced them all to join him' amazingly this was accompanied by a lot of nodding heads.   Mmmm! and I was really worried about
'highly gifted children'...... that was just the answer I would have expected from my favourite boy in all the world,
my grandson, Jamax, who though is perfect cannot be called 'highly gifted' when it comes to academia.

Lovely afternoon spent with some amazing kids - how lucky I am.
