I think that is accurate-- it's just that it seems normal to most of our kids to have some truly extraordinary opportunities that are not (in general) afforded to others.
I'm still not clear whether it simply doesn't occur to my DD that not everyone has those opportunities... or if she takes for granted that SHE will... or if it makes her feel somewhat guilty/uncomfortable that others do not, and therefore she prefers to gloss over them.
With my own DD, it's quite possible that it is the latter. She seems genuinely excited about some things, but often comes across as "cool" over it to the casual observer.
Some of this could also be her trying to be older, too-- she's usually the youngest person being offered such opportunities in any cohort, and she prefers to not advertise that particular fact.
