    It seems as if no one listens to Thomas Sowell. Why is that? He should be everywhere all the time talking. He's a fountain!

      yes he is. He is quite a bit older and I think he limits his engagements by choice. Also, I think he is shy regarding his his speech. As a child, he was late to speak and overcomes a speech impediment. He wrote a book about it.

            Wow 7or8 that must be stubborness. Mine isn't the stubborn type though... I asked the Dr. about it and he said it's somewhat common with second siblings they don't "need" to talk so they just don't. He would say complete sentences in his sleep, but not when he was awake...and he made up his own words for things too. He would only say one word things if anything at all and if you didn't know his lingo you were lost... until one night...after playing a game called RoadRash on Nintendo (a motorcycle game) with his brother...at the dinner table he started laughing his head off and repeating one of the motorcycle rider's rants, "you're dead meat! you're dead meat! Do you hear me? I said you're dead meat!" He could not stop laughing and then his brother joined in and I was clueless...and astonished that he talked... I guess you had to be there. My older son was a super early talker...and asked questions non stop.
