What’s a better way of saying this, please. My son is a mathematical genius and is obsessed with numbers and, consequently will walk around him talking about them often. This prompts strangers to ask him questions. For example he will see something like 143 and say, to me, “ah that looks like 343 which is a cube” and someone will see that he is 4 and be surprised and ask “what is 343 a cube of?”. He will answer but I want to start protecting him from this because I get the sense they are “testing” him - it’s usually men and I feel a bit like they are challenging his knowledge or find him interesting and I think it’s entirely inappropriate. He is not a circus monkey. My mother had similar with my eldest brother who was the same and never came up with a phrase. I appreciate some people are just being friendly but all the same I want to discourage it.
all ideas welcome please
