    Me? I used to think I was very smart. Until I started thinking for myself.

    You're not as smart as you think I am.

    My fear is that others simply will be dull to recognize how brilliant I am.

    It makes me feel a bit uncertain at times.

    Show I speak LOUDLY AND SLOWLY?

    Or use

    shorter

    sentences.

    The Average I.Q. is 100, I'm told.

    I think mine is about 99.

    I have to substitute lots of lucubration for natural intelligence. I may not be smart. (But I know what love is, Jenny.)

    You're smart enough to make me have to look up lucubration.

    Because I wasn't smart enough to know what it meant.

    Case in point!

    When I was a teenager I use to look up and list (for memorization) 16 new vocabulary words every day.

    It really helped me alot. But, it was hard work. I can think of few things I actually learned in school that did served me

    as well as increasing my store of specific vocabulary terms.

    I'm a big stickler for precise definitions because it gives me tools for thought which are perfectly suited to map the knowledge I possess.

    It can come across as smart alec and pedantic and I may sound like a sesquipedalian didact, but, I'm not trying to be supercilious, I assure you.

    I am less smart than I think I am. I was trained by a brain dead religion by peole even dumber than I to think I was brilliant.

    But I do know my IQ (for what that's worth), which is bigger than average.

    Am I as smart as I think I am?

    I'm afraid I just don't think that's good enough.

    It's far more in my favor to think that I'm as smart as my kids think I am. (they're not teenagers yet)
