I guess I end up thinking that I don't know crap when it comes to biology or sports (I mean, I wouldn't even know how to play a game of touch football, except I do know what a touchdown is...). I didn't know what the "curse of the Bambino" was until I married Joe. Lots of things that are obvious to other people.

So, what I'm getting at is, I thought that girl's comment was hilarious, and shocking. At the same time, I'm glad she liked the Jane Austen movies enough to go buy a book, and at least she knows more now than she did before.

But, forget that. I'm being too generous. What an idiot! ;-)

And P.S. I finished my teaching the GMAT course tonight, and I got rave reviews from the students. Phew! That felt good. I start a new session in 2 weeks.
