Where's Your Chickens?

Nolan is 3 1/2 years old and probably just as smart as most 3 1/2 year olds but we think he's a genius.  He was at his Gramma's house yesterday and she took him down to the basement to look for craft paints.  Now when Kim had 2 dogs, she and David built a large dog pen in the basement using chicken wire for the front so that the dogs wouldn't feel so closed in when they slept there.  Nolan saw the pen and casually asked, "Gramma, where's your chickens?".

My question is, how did this little guy have enough knowledge to be able to identify chicken wire and to know it was used to cage chickens?  Sometimes it seems like youngsters store every little bit of information they get.  Wouldn't it be great if we oldsters could do the same, never forgetting any detail?

We relatives of Nolan could be right, though.  Maybe he really is a genius.
