Rissa the Brilliant

I’m okay in the brains dept.  I have my 128 IQ.  Or at least that’s what every free online IQ test tells me.  So I’m smart, but not Mensa smart.  David is Mensa smart – plus some.  He’s around 162.  But he can’t find the ketchup in the fridge, so draw your own conclusions.

Rissa’s average math mark this year was 91%.  She kicked math’s ass.  I was always an A student in math, but not that kind of A.  I look at this goofy and beautiful girl and she blows my mind.  My egg and David’s sperm got busy and made HER.  And I know that every parent thinks that their  child is brilliant, but I actually think that she might be.  Unless the school is lying – but really, why would they do that?  She has an 85 overall average without really applying herself.  Imagine what would happen if she actually thought to study.

So here’s to her.  To my beautiful and brilliant daughter.  I could just burst I’m so proud of her.
