That is funny and so true what you said about a nerd at 40. My son and I recently had dinner with my husband and his new boss, a 36 year old woman, who I think has to be a former gifted kid or nerd. In addition to her job in management, she teaches violin and plays 4 or 5 other instruments, looks forward to attending the medieval fair every year, and loves to read and learn new things. She uses a higher level vocabulary in her speech than most people around here. I wanted to ask her about her school experiences because she is obviously very bright, if not gifted, but I didn't get the chance.
