I am already looking for to the next AAP season

Often times smarter kids have a sense of humor more advanced than the age. Sure, they may laugh (and make) poop and bugger jokes, but they are more likely to see the funny connections in situations. For example, when the softball team, "the princesses" got in a fight over a ball and the whole team was wrestling for it....one girl on my team started laughing....not over the girls fighting, the "Princesses" fighting. Not what I would expect from a 6 yo.

Of course a shy kid might not get it....and not all smart kids laugh a lot, but humor and intelligence correlate, possibly as much as intelligence and the CogAT.

I think it's "booger," but almost everyone agrees such jokes aren't "funny."
I don't get the Princesses fighting thing. I guess I'm not AAP material.
DC told me one the other day. Mom hands the telephone to the kid and says "it's your dad." The kid looks at the phone and says "that's not my dad."

The princess fights...you had to be there....it was the juxtaposition of the fight with the Princess uniforms.

Introverted does not equal shy. And it is booger. And you're not very funny at all.

PP: You do not know me. My name may be Dave Berry. Dave Berry is funny. Booger.

Dave Berry may be funny, but Dave Barry is funnier.

Remember Booger from Revenge of the Nerds? He won that belching contest? That was pretty funny.

I love booger jokes and so does my dd. Her favorite bday gift this year is a whoopie cushion. Really. We are both in Mensa. Not every gifted kids have advanced sense of humor, but a whole lot do. We find humor in the mundane and the absurd, like a lot the the threads on this forum.

Why do people insist on posting they are in Mensa? I am a internationally known computational physical scientist, and no one in my peer group has ever said they are in Mensa. I do know that most of my colleagues would qualify, but why bother?

Everyone, post your FAT
Did you receive your FAT in the mail? I was expecting them to mail it by now.
What is your child's FAT?
How FAT does your child need to be to get into AAP?
My snowflakes's FAT was not what I expected it to be. Can we prep or find a program to get a higher FAT?

And, the list goes on.

This change will bring a whole new layer of brevity to the VA schools forum.

Thanks Fairfax County Schools! Can't wait for next spring!

You need to get a life.

I find flatulence so much more hilarious than boogers.
