Oh, I agree. I don't think my kids are "many" SDs above me. (That's pretty major.) Like others here, though, I also feel that I am not as smart as I once was, so sometimes my kids really make me feel stupid. And I feel I probably have something approaching an LD in spatial reasoning--maybe nonverbal learning disability. That's something that could happen--a parent could have an LD and then have a child who is gifted in that area.
