Like, knows how to ride a bike or pilot a ship, maybe remembers codes and things? I don't think that would be weird. And a five-year-old probably wouldn't even wonder how he or she knew that stuff, whereas a nine-year-old might think, "I don't remember learning how to fly a spaceship..."

But if the five-year-old instinctively knows how to flirt, that would be creepy. *g*

I was thinking the former, not the latter. :)

Ans also that they would inherently trust the people they trusted as an adult, maybe remember them in a vague way.

That all sounds very plausible and not conflict-causing to me. :)

I should qualify all this by admitting that I can't watch those advertisements where they digitally manipulate a young baby to make it talk like an adult. I find them kind of horrifying, much like Snuggles the dryer sheet bear.

those ads creep me out. The ones where they make animals talk too. *shudders* me no want

For me, talking fruit/veg/meat products exhorting you to eat them is far worse than talking animals or babies...

oh yes! That is counterintuitive to me. If it's cute and talking to me the last thing I want to do is eat it.
