More proof that my daughter is the smartest three-year old ever...

... and hyperbole does not exist in my life.
We flipped on "How It's Made." For some reason, she likes watching the show with me. It's so... mesmerizing. I can't explain WHY, but I watch it all the time.
Anyway, as soon as we turn it on, we see a flat piece of metal, just a cut-out shape of sheet metal, going by on an assembly line. Real basic spade shape, but no definition to it at all. She looks and says "I think that'll be a shovel!"
Just, of all the things it COULD have been, it's still just a flat, two-dimensional, vaguely spade-like shape, and she's figured out that it's going to be formed into a shovel. That's like visual-spacial relationships and ****.
And, of course, she was right. She figured it out before me!
Smarty-pants.
