Oh! That explains it then. I was reading at a 3rd grade level in Kindergarten. In first grade they would regularly pull me out of the reading class and have me read to the kids in the 3rd grade (yes, standing at the front of the class and reading to them). Pretty much skipped right from **** and Jane to the Hardy Boys in one step. So it's not surprising that I had never read a picture book aimed at 1st/2nd grade level.
No, it doesn't explain it. Your complete lack of intellectual curiosity probably explains it. I excelled at punctuation in first grade. Yet, somehow, that didn't prevent me from reading ee cummings. As for your astonishing 2 grade gap in reading level, the reality is that it's *very slightly* above average. I'd imagine there are dozens of posters on this board (myself and my wife included) who read at a 12th grade reading level the first time we were tested in 2nd grade or whatever it was. It's a self reinforcing factor of your lack of intellectual accomplishment that you likely aren't capable of understanding what tiny, tiny minnow you are in this particular pond.
