Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Am I too focused on 'gifted'?

I am the world's worst estimator. Seriously, THE worst! If I pick the container to hold the leftovers, I guarantee you it will be way off. I always hope that I won't be an eyewitness and have to describe a criminal, because the height and weight window will be HUGE: "He was...somewhere between 5'3" and 7'0" and he weighed between 100 and 300 pounds."

I wish I were kidding!

And I skipped no math whatsoever. Skipped no grades. I'm just bad at it.

Yet this issue doesn't really matter in my life. Well, I suppose it is occasionally mildly annoying when I need to estimate the weight of my pet elephant...
