Fat lady with too much time on her hands

[Anonymous]

Will it be harder to parent my highly gifted & super talented kid than my dumb-as-rocks kid?

Whoa! Somebody on DCUM has a dumb-as-a-rock kid? Please get off this board immediately.

8:29PP - LOL! I've always wondered about that. I had my daughter with a very smart guy and at times I wonder if I've doomed myself to trying to parent a child who might be smarter than me. Should I get used to never winning arguments? Will I be able to help her do her homework or will she roll her eyes and think, "Mom's a moron?" At the same time, I don't know that I'd be a good parent of a not-quite-as-bright child. I feel like I wouldn't be able to wrap my brain around why the kid couldn't get A's all the time, like I did.

BTW, to the original Andrew Cuomo/Moe poster - I totally heart you! Your question made me laugh out loud in my cube and now all my coworkers think I'm a freak. (to be fair, they probably already did.)

Fat lady, when you wake up, this might get you over your hangover and back in the right mood.

What does this mean exactly? Did you pick him out of a donor catalogue at a fertility clinic? Just wondering as it the oddest phrasing I think I have seen about a father.

Your biggest problem is that DD will be a bow-wow.
