Hey there big girl,
I saw this on slashdot. (link) Slashdot is a good news aggregator.
The article says "teach programming earlier". I read it that way, anyway. My take on it is "they just mastered walking intentionally and language - so they are crazy-smart and perfectly capable. They just need a way to make vocabulary easier."
This is the actual article, something I would read:
http://www-public.int-evry.fr/~gibson/Research/Publications/E-Copies/Gibson12.pdf
Here is a more official publication reference:
Teaching Graph Algorithms To Children Of All Ages, J. Paul Gibson. Presented at the Seventeenth Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE 2012), Haifa, Israel, 3-5 July, pages 34 - 39, ISBN = 978-1-4503-1246-2
The conclusion was:
I want you to be able to succeed.
Love you much, MathGirl.

You are such fun, mathgirl.
While driving home from an 11 hour trip to a wedding in Colorado, you made the following:
... dangit. blogspot won't allow audio here. dangit...
You quoted the entire episode from memory at 9pm at night to entertain yourself.
Here is the original, I think. (link) I hope that Hasbro keeps it up so the link is not damaged.
You can see that you get 90% of the words right, and what you get wrong is also insightful.
You are an amazing kiddo.
