you might be the parent of a gifted child when...

your DD14 glares at you for putting her NMSC "Certificate of Commendation" up tucked into a frame (that holds another honor)... because she sees it as a badge of shame that she didn't earn a semifinalist score on the PSAT at 13.5yo.

Let's just say that personal standards of excellence are a little different for some kids. whistle (I was/am proud of her-- honest-- I wasn't being mean. I just thought it was cool that she scored in the top 50K nationwide at that age, particularly never having any experience with standardized tests until then.)
