Well then we're so screwed. We had the sonogram today - and the finger count was odd. Looks like it'll be a boy.

It can not POSSIBLY be that boys get their intelligence from their mothers. It is just NOT POSSIBLE. I can give EXAMPLES. My husband is one of four brothers whose mother is really, I'm so sorry to say this, because I've always gotten along wonderfully with my mother-in-law, she is the nicest mother-in-law one could ask for, but she is just really not intelligent at all, is the nicest way I can put it, I mean the woman is just so simple-minded; and my husband's father was brilliant and the four sons are all brilliant. Once I said to N about his mother, not meaning it to be an insult at all, I promise, "Your mother is stupid, but she's not shallow." It sounds terrible, but I'm telling you, if you met her on her best day you would think, "My GOSH she's simple minded, for a normal person." (I would say she is as simple minded as any person I've ever personally known who was not not classified as mentally retarded.) But she had good values, and was a loving mother, and had extremely good instincts about people. It was odd. But she can't even carry on a conversation and never could. She makes comments, and gossips a little, but really just laughs merrily most of the time at whatever is going on around her. This is true of her two sisters, too. My husband was an accident, his father having intended only a fling with a beautiful girl. But the man did the right thing, and they had five children and a marriage that although it was strange, lasted until he died following bypass surgery for a rheumatic heart. I got off the subject. I am just telling you, it is absolutely impossible, whatever medical science says, that my mother in law (whose two sisters and one brother, all exceedingly dim bulbs, sorry, I have also met) passed on the smartness genes to the sons. Just imPOSSible. They must do the science over again, I'm telling you! I am going to wake up N and tell him.
