If her child was gifted, I wonder how Joyce would have reacted when that child started outsmarting her at a very young age. It's been a bit humbling for me when my child has come up with better ways of doing things than the way I showed her. It happened much sooner than I would have imagined. I guess in some ways I wanted a child who was as gifted as me, but not necessarily more. You get what you get, though.
