Star, Bright

by Mark Clifton

Pete Holmes knows that Star, his three-year-old girl, is bright, and he worries that being so intelligent will make life difficult for her (as it has for himself); and then when an equally bright boy moves in next door and Pete observes them playing together and dropping an impossibly ancient Egyptian coin, he’s not sure whether that makes the situation better or worse.
And those were the children who were too little to cross the street!

“Star, Bright” by Mark Clifton, in Galaxy, July 1952.
