I too read a lot of books that weren't meant for kids. Some of them, I really shouldn't have. I discovered a couple years back that I belong to a venerable tradition of kids who were waaaaaayy too young for them who read Jean Auel's books about cavemen, and learned really really really inappropriately about softcore porn. (I vividly remember, I was like eight, and the first novel has a graphic, violent rape scene in it.)

So I figure, well. Pre-screened is good, here. I remember my mother saying "i think that book is too old for you" and I was like "but i can read big books" and she was like "i think it has sexy things in it?" and I was like [the i don't know sound] and she was like "fine whatever" but no she was absolutely right and should not have let me read that.
oh well, i'm fucked-up but i'm not an axe murderer so it's probably all good.

Farmkid is way ahead of her age in language skills, speaking and reading, but notably not at all ahead in emotional regulation and such, so she's in the same kind of danger I was. But everybody gets fucked up over something, and me reading her adventure stories with the sexy bits snipped out is highly unlikely to be what does it, LOL.
