We have someone at work that is constantly talking about how smart her son is compared to the other kids in his class to everyone. She says she's constantly getting him tested and it's IQ is around 180. She says he has already mastered all basic math and he's only 9 yo. Did we all have addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division pretty much mastered by age 9-10?
Well, he came walkin in yesterday with her and he walked over to my desk and just started staring at me. Didn't say anything, but was just chewing on a toy and staring. So after about a minute or so, I turn around and say "Hey!" and he says "Hi." He didn't seem that smart to me so I asked him "So you know how to multiply huh?" and he said "What? What is that?" So I said, "what is 2 * 3?" and he says "Ohh we were just learning about this in school, that's 4 silly!" I then asked him another couple of questions and let's just say the only one he got right was "How old are you?"
Anyway, number one, I hate when people bring their kids to work and just let them run around the office wild. They take no responsiblity for them and don't mind when they bother other people who are trying to work. Two, I think it's just pathetic that she needs to make up stuff about her son to make herself feel better. She must have some type of inferiority complex of some sort.
ANyway, I could be wrong about all this... but I don't think so. Some people are so freaking phoney! :|
