New Game Show
This show just started.. Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? You have to answer questions from 1st to 5th grade and win money. This is semi comical... and of course anticipating that I am indeed smarter than a 5th grader I thought I'd answer the first question. What month did Christopher Columbus arrive in the United States? Hhmm..that holiday is not long after school started... SEPTEMBER!!
It was October. This wasn't looking good. We went through a few more questions with some relative sense that I'm not a total dolt when it dawns on me the children in the show have a decided advantage.. they just learned this stuff.
This means, it's not that they are smarter. It means we've had to learn so much more that fifth grade and below is filed so far back in to the recesses of the memory it's hard to remember. Ask us something relevent and we'd blow those ankle biters away!
