I didn't say I was dumb! I said I was dumber than his whole family! That's probably not a lie.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Dude- pretty much what most families look for is: "does this person make my son happy?" There you go. Also, you're NOT dumber than his family, they just have more education, which does not equal dumber. The only people that matters to are shallow, score-keeping, exclusionary snobs. You are charming and lovely and can intelligently discuss any number of subjects and are probably a refreshing change from the overprivileged and spoiled people they see in Brookline. You are courageous and determined and strong and have much to be proud of, and you should remember that. You should make a list!
Also: please to not be using fat as an self-insult. Fat is fat, it's neither good or bad. I think you are looking extremely lovely and healthy these days.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I've found that it's often useless to compare relatively smart people to find out which one is dumber.
His mother may be a superior court judge, but she may not know how to trick a 6 year old into eating her peas, dissect an internet community or what have you.

Oh, and I am 6 years older than the DH. I consider it an EXCELLENT age difference.
Really? Good to know. My mom thinks it's fantastic, and when she started explaining why I got bigtime squicked and make her stop.
I don't really care, but I'm always afraid people are going to see me as a cradle-robber or something.
Mostly, I'm just having meet-the-parents jitters, apparently. Wow. Craziness!
I think you are looking extremely lovely and healthy these days.
Awwww! Thanks!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

“Not dead yet!”
and dumber than his whole family. I just can't seem to get past that part.
Yo, sweets, book learnin' do not smarts make, k? My husband, who is ridiculously brilliant and all but dissertation in genetic epidemiology and biostatistics, manages a GameStop because it makes him happy.
He says he feels smarter now than he did during all his years of overpriced education because of the multitude of skills he has to call on to deal with a wide variety of problems and yanno, people.

dumber than his whole family
Maybe than his whole family put together. Otherwise, that statement is so not true. You're the honor student the professors write glowing praise about. You're the story quilter and the helpful friend. You are the Bug that could.

I think you have to be a redhead with blue eyes to be in that pictures.
