Yeah, he’s smart all right. Dead, too.

The other night, Addison took an online IQ test.

I know, I know… but bear with me here. I actually find them “ballpark” accurate because I *did* have a real IQ test done, so I know about around where I am.
Ron and I like to take them just because we are geeks like that, and to see when we’re slipping. He always gets better than I do, around a 10 to 30 point lead depending on the test.

So he sends me his results then asked me what I normally get. I tell him. He asked me what Ron normally gets and I tell him. Addison’s score is between ours, so I ask him, “So what you’re telling me is, you are smarter than I am, but not quite as smart as Dad?”

“Well yeah, ” he answers, “But I already knew that!”

    Just tell him that all of YOUR IQ tests have been done while making lunch for 5 or changing diapers or coordinating the weekend driving schedule, whereas the menfolk go sit in a soundproof room to take theirs!

    Kim is so right! That is exactly what happened to me!
    Congrats, Addison!

    Heh, well I went & did the same test as he did and got 20 points less. BUT like you guys said, I was distracted, tired and whizzed through it in a hurry (solving an argument on the way).
    Still got in the above average range, and that’s the lowest score I can ever remember getting. :???:

    oh boy…competition of the geeks! in our family, I think the boys (including my partner) would be competing for levels in some video game…and the girls would be competing for what movies they have seen…:grin:
