Am I Smarter than a Fifth Grader?
Today I pondered outloud at the supper table, "On the news today they showed a blue lobster. I wonder how it became blue." With no hesitation and a voice full of confidence my 10 year old answered, "some lobsters live in rivers and are blue." She had also asked me earlier while we were hanging out the clothes why I have so much useless information in my head when I forget important stuff. I had just told her about Daryl, and his brother Larry and his other brother Larry from Newhart from the tv show I watched decades ago. She said, "I only have important stuff in my head because I watch educational shows." She proved this later with her river lobsters are blue information. My response, "And what are the words to the iCarly television show." Of course, she knew them as well. Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
