Inspired by the combine harvester thread, my example is that DD can sing all the words to just about every Squeeze hit. She can also make ace bread sauce and is in high demand during Thanksgiving and Christmas Grin What are yours (18 GCSEs and getting into Oxford don't count)?

My DD 12 can make Spaghetti Bolognese from scratch.
Putting the washing machine and dishwasher on (And load it)
She likes Queen.
When she pops to the shops after school, she'll get me a bottle of diet coke because she knows I'll need it after work.
She always knows what kinds of day I've had.
She can name atleast 20 different moons of Saturn and Jupiter (Her name come from one)

I'm failiing with getting her into Star Trek. She's only 12 though, it'll get her yet.
