After further review -My child *IS* smarter than yours

[underpants]

I got this e-mail from my wife this morning.

Josie's teacher talked to me this morning about how well Josie is doing. She said that she thinks she is unusually smart and that continue doing whatever we are doing. She said she asked Josie to find her a red ball and Josie went to the toys and brought a red ball back to her. She told her to find the yellow ball but it was not out. She said Josie looked all over the floor and then did that shrug as if to say I don't see one. She said identifying colors was way advanced.:):):):)


Josie will have her FIRST birthday in two weeks.

1. Remi knows his toys by name

:hide:

4. Of course Remi is 14 years old

6. That actually makes it worse

14 year olds should me playing with anything named "Mr.Wiggles"

[matcom]

9. "Wrinkles"

[underpants]

15. Eeewww

19. Wow

:bounce:

[matcom]

2. My 3 year-old makes my Manhattan just the way I like it.

3. But Josie is a baby.

If you left her alone in the woods for a week, she would almost definitely starve or be eaten by something larger and fiercer.

Score one for Coyotes.

8. Don't doubt the power of the 4 toothed grin

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Well, she *is* very cute.

You probably shouldn't leave her in the woods. Cute babies are missed.

[underpants]

13. Right CHECK got it

don't leave the baby in the woods

I'll add it to the list of rules

#1 Don't drop the baby
#2 DO NOT DROP THE BABY
#3 Honey and babies don't mix (weird botulism thing-it's real)
#4 Keep an eye out for dingos
#5 Nobody puts baby in the corner
#6 Don't leave the baby in the woods

Actually #5 needs to be changed to NO ONE FEEDS THE BABY UNLESS I GIVE IT AN OKAY DID YOU ****ING HEAR ME?!?!? that stems from this weekend. :grr:

21. What's the Number One Rule about Baby? - "Never discuss Baby."

:rofl:

22. Is it just me......

Or does that child look like she's sneaking up on somebody? That child isn't smart. She's diabiolical!!!!! Leave the house, seek shelter, don't look back. Otherwise, she'll have your head on a pike by the time you take the training wheels off.

[underpants]

24. We think she might have some Sleestak in her

So we won't have to run too fast

[wildhorses]

30. look at those thighs...I just love fat rolls on little baby

thighs, it means she is healthy and oh so pinchable. She's got the kind of cheeks that call out for pinching, too!!

you know...just a little tweak, enough so she giggles and then I know I have made a friend!!

thanks for sharing the pics. you have a lovely child.

:hi:

[Phillycat]

23. DAYUM she's cute!

*melts*

[jobycom]

7. Cool! With shock collars you could teach her to roll over and beg.

:rofl:

Just teasing, UP, that does sound you've got a bright one. Mine wouldn't be able to do that at 13. Not that she doesn't know the color red, just that she wouldn't get off the couch and pick up anything for anyone!

[underpants]

Ba dum PSSH!

-rimshot-

[Avalux]

10. You think it's cool now, just wait.

When she's a teenager and she's smarter than everyone (or at least thinks she is) - you'll be in trouble! :D

11. Timeless Parenting Maxim: My child is in the 90th percentile for ________

(fill in the blank).

It's a seemingly universal with everyone I know who has children:

Their child is in the "upper whatever percentile" for everything - signs of intelligence, height, weight, motor skills/dexterity, etc. In fact, since every single infant and child I know is such a Super Baby, I am expecting great things from them as adults!

I often think the "Who's Who" people have an infant-coddling division!

14. Come on, don't rain on him, it's a big deal

His kid knows what a red ball is! :rofl:

[underpants]

18. don't laugh

You should see the gene pool she came out of.

:rofl:

[underpants]

17. LOL I know

I had one friend who had all his kids percentiles memorized. That was always the first thing you heard.

BTW Josie got a 9 on the initial APGAR and a 10 on the three minute one.

Just saying.

[mikeytherat]

20. Ah, the 'ol APGAR - Activity, Pulse, Grimace, Appearance, and Respiration

What I call the "Yep, yer baby's alive" scale!

PS
Just foolin' - I love kids!

[Midlodemocrat]

26. My friend has a bumper sticker that says

My child as more chromosomes than your honor student.



(Down Syndrome)

I love it. :rofl:

27. Time to get our the integration flash cards.

Certainly the age of one is not to early for a child to become familiar with simple integrals. This way you can hope that before entering school, your child will be among those who can integrate functions like x²sinx dx by parts in her head, without using pencil and paper. I thought my kid was smart when he was one, and ignored my opportunity to do the same.

I really regret my inattention.

My oldest kid is 11 now, and he is depressingly normal. The same sad state of affairs seems to be happening with my seven year old. I have explained to him stellar evolution along the main sequence and he still doesn't seem to get it. I feel like a failure.

[mikeytherat]

28. Should the next step be Differential Equations, or Statics and Dynamics?

Can you imagine just how cute it would be to hear your infant coo, "Develop beam and shear stress."?

29. Yeah

exactly

Huh? :shrug:

see my post above about the gene pool
