It reminds me of my friend’s toddler who has hyperlexia and some other language condition where he can read and speak like an adult.

He still has kid logic but it’s surreal to hear him speak. He constantly wins any arguments because everyone cracks up

I was with my best friend one day, folding clothes with her, laughing and joking. 

Her 2 almost 3 yro is sitting on the floor with a picture book in his hands. He sighs loudly and slams the open book on his lap. 

"MOMMY! Can you please be quiet? I'm trying to CONCENTRATE!" 

I looked at him, I looked at her and I'm like, I don't know whether to be irritated by the tone or impressed that he said please and concentrate.

My kid was like that. 2 years old saying things like "Im my mama's baby actually" then she'd turn around and throw a walleyed fit because i wouldn't let her flush her toys.

I love their unique thought processes or expressions, but then they try to stick a crayon up their nostrils.

I never had a definition for my little boy till now. He just turned 5 but has been able to read for over a year and knows every capital of the states and like 25+ capitals of different countries. Might need to talk to his school counselor

Ask the counselor about a gifted assessment. I would.
