Lilly: The World Map Master Baby Genius

23-month-old knows 80 countries on a map of the world!



From the orignal YouTube poster:

Lilly is my niece. She was 23 months old when this was done in August 2007 in her parents small one bedroom apartment. She now knows over 80 countries. Yes, we know that Tasmania is not a country everyone. It's still a fun place to know.
She knows better geography than a 5th grader. She has been doing this for about 8 months. She is one funny niece. If you think that this is cruel and unusual, get a life.

Cruel and unusual? Hey it beats, "What does a cow say?"
