Department of not-quite-believably precocious children
From a Styles section story today:
Yana Collins Lehman, a film production accountant who lives in Brooklyn, knew something was amiss when her 5-year-old son, Beckett, started to announce to no one in particular, “I’m John McCain, and I approved this statement.”
Ms. Collins Lehman, 36, thought: “Oh my God, I’m watching too much news.”

[John Lynch] got up, paced around, went into his bedroom, paced around, went into his walk-in closet and stared a hole in his shoes. His 7-year-old daughter, Lindsay, wandered in and said, “What’s wrong, Daddy?”
Lynch said, “Nothing, honey. It’s just — Daddy’s kind of struggling with not playing football anymore.”
“So play,” Lindsay said.
“Well, I want to. But on the other hand, it’s probably time to stop. I don’t know. It’s complicated.”
Lindsay looked at him for a moment then said, “Oh, Daddy. Now you’re starting to sound like Brett Favre.”
