just because the kids are good at it doesn't mean that they are prodigies in the sense that you're implying kids learn fast - both physical and mental skills (like language), I'm sure you know that maybe the kids picked this up quickly by being exposed to a massive wall of records, their dad being a good turntablist, and generally being around the culture all day for their, so far, very short lives how they'll turn out as adults depends on many factors beyond how much they practice something they seem to enjoy MEK "Thomas D.
