Did anyone catch the end of Dr. Phil today? It was a show where people were asking Dr. Phil about their parenting dilemmas, and this one woman was all like, "My two year old is this BRILLIANT child who can count in English and Spanish, and knows all of the states, and was drawing trapezoids when he was nine months old, and we're just not sure how to handle how exceptional he is."

Oh, puh-lease. Just because your kid is able to rattle off the alphabet, doesn't mean he's any smarter than my kid who is, right this very moment . . . er . . . talking into the television remote control like it's a telephone.

But hey, that just shows he has a creative spirit! And he isn't afraid to express himself in nontraditional ways! And who needs to draw a trapezoid anyway?
