I am smarter then my kid because:

<p>I figured out how to do something on their I pod and they didn’t!!!</p>

<p>hehe</p>

<p>Come on, aren’t you ever smarter than your kid? I learned how to put on just one playlist…all by my self…</p>

<p>CityGirlsMom:
You are leaving yourself open to a <em>devastating</em> riposte from any/all kids unless you fix a couple of typos above :)</p>

<p>hmm … if I go back to when the kids were 2-3 years old I have a few examples … but at this point I’m banking on being a wily old vet using his experience to get any edge of my kids. An open question I have is … as my kids close in on me very quickly which is quicker … their rise? or my fall?</p>

5

<p>Because I’ve lived longer I have more wisdom, but I think my kids are actually quite a bit brighter than I am…scary!</p>

6

<p>I am smarter than my kid in some ways because I have experienced or read about things that he hasn’t yet. But I am not always smarter than my kid when it comes to computers and as I teach him (or help him learn) more about the world I expect the smartness difference will diminish rapidly.</p>

<p>But until recently, at least, my father has usually been smarter than me.</p>

7

<p>I must be smarter than my kids and spouse 'cause I’m the only one in the house (apparently) who can reprogram the remote control when it goes belly up.</p>

8

<p>Because I can do four things at once! I can figure out the most efficient way to get everything done in the least amount of time and least amount of mileage. Everyone else in my house is too linear.</p>

<p>I am smarter then my kid because:</p>

<p>I am old and have many scars.</p>

10

<p>I am smater than my kid because I can tell when the dishes in the dishwasher are clean and I don’t put dirty dishes in it.</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>LOL! Isn’t that the truth.
Also I am apparently the only person who knows where cleaning products are kept…hmmmm, you don’t suppose they are just PRETENDING on that one and feigning ignorance!!! ;)</p>

12

<p>I thought my kids were smarter until I read meredes post :)!!</p>

<p>I am smarter than my kids because I can tell when the dog needs to go out and I know that opening the door takes less energy than repeatedly pushing the big, licking, medicated-for-anxiety, pest off your chair.</p>

13

<p>My kid does not think I’m smarter than he is, but he thinks I “butter the toast better” than he does and asks me to “make him some cereal” (Cheerios). I think you spell that l-a-z-y?</p>

14

<p>I’m the smartest one because I am the only one to figure out how to take out the trash and put the toilet paper on the holder when it runs out. I’m also smarter than my husband in that respect. </p>

<p>I’m also the genius that has figured out how to run the vacuum cleaner, a very complicated peice of machinery with that tricky “on/off” switch.</p>

15

<p>I am smarter than my kids because I can think ten steps ahead and anticipate the unexpected might happen (like: get your app ready 3 days early; in case you have a computer glitch when you actually try to send it. you’ll have time to fix it.) I think I learned this by working for a very demanding boss. Screw ups were NOT an option, so you always had to have contingency plans in case…</p>

<p>D’s got me so whipped in the intelligence category that my only hope is to aggressively cheat. </p>

<p>If I have an advantage anywhere (and that is becoming more debatable by the day), it’s that I have made almost every stupid error a human can make-twice. Sometimes it seems as if she thinks I’m psychic when in reality it’s just me remembering what happened when I pulled some equally bone-headed stunt.</p>

<p>

Hey, I’m afraid of the thing.</p>

<p>D was fighting with mom, or “negotiating” as she’d say about dinner dishes earlier this week. It went something like this . Mom-"I’ve done the dishes this whole week and I’m not the only one who eats !“D-Well, I’m not either and anyway Dad-oh never mind. I don’t think Dad even knows HOW to do the dishes.” Yes, my plan of “total incompetence” has worked. Never say no when they ask me to do the laundry, just do it cheerfully and turn their underwear pink.</p>

18

<p>LOL!!! Too funny curmudgeon.</p>

<p>parents get a life, is this what you do all day?</p>

<p>“parents get a life, is this what you do all day?”</p>

<p>And what?</p>
