[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's funny OP. I agree with you. When we moved here from Ohio, we were surprised about how many people talked about how smart their kids were. It got to be so many that we thought every kid was in "gifted and talented". No one we knew in Ohio ever, ever talked about how smart or athletic or whatever their kids were. Midwestern modesty.[/quote] Also from flyover country. Where I grew up, it was considered bad taste/tacky/tempting the fates to brag about kids in any way. It was easy to figure out who the smart kids/top athletes were, they won all of the awards at the quarterly School Assemblies. And, yeah, these things tended to run in families. The parents were modestly proud. But no bragging, ever.[/quote]
