An English couple adopted a German baby. By the age of two, he'd yet to talk.

They took him to specialists, but they could find nothing wrong with the boy.

By his seventh birthday, his parents had given up hope. But that morning while he ate breakfast, he spoke clearly: "Mother, Father, my strudel is a bit tepid."

They were astounded and overjoyed. "You can talk!"

"Yes of course" said the boy.

"But why haven't you said anything before?"

"Up to now everything has been quite satisfactory."

Is this einstein reference?

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know. Was he adopted?

After some searching, the behavior is called Einstein syndrome and he was also German. So i thought it would be a reference
