...using her nursing skills, has successfully Freuded her way into the Vexin' Texan's mama's-boy heart, and the two have agreed to face the jury together and let the first and second prizes fall where they may (heck, Colby's already got a car). Two, that Colby somehow doesn't realize that whoever can get into the Final Two popular vote-off opposite Keith is a shoo-in for the grand prize. And three, nothing whatsoever.

Children grasp things at different rates, and parents whose child can read by age 3 may thus conclude that they somehow threaded the teaching needle perfectly, introducing letters and words at just the right time. But the reality is often that they simply got lucky and had a kid who took a shine early on to a particular skill.
