Like others have said, the parents are probably gifted themselves, but may not ever have known that and so think everyone is like this. Absolutely agree! I know a couple of true prodigies (she had papers published in math research journals at 9), and I look at DS and think he's nowhere close to being that intelligent. That could just be the difference between 99.9% and 99.99999999%
