She likes it?

Chubby brown boy sees Julia getting into the van after school and says to me, 

"She can read."

"I know" I said as he stopped walking and I stopped strapping Julia in to her booster. 

"She read a whole book" he said with equal parts awe and confusion. 

"She loves it, she does it all the time."

As he turned to walk away he said "She likes it."

I asked Julia who he was. She didn't know his name but knew he was in the 3rd grade 

My little genius is making a name for herself.
