Are YOU smarter than a 5th grader??

Embarrassing moment of the month...

We had our Halloween Enrichment last night and we played this game where you had to draw a paper and do what it said on it. If you didn't want the first one you drew you could pass it to someone. And so someone passed theirs to me!!!!!!!!!!! WHY???!!! This is what it said...Stand up and while doing the sprinkler dance, name as many state capitals as you can. I couldn't pass and so I stood!!! I named Salt Lake City and Dallas! You only had to go as long as you could name them and so I said that was all I could think of and sat down. When I sat down the girl next to me asked what the second one I said was and another girl told her "Dallas and that's not even the capitol."

I looked over and started laughing and then I said "Oh yeah, its Houston!"

Girl says "No, actually its Austin."

WOW!! Did I turn bright red or what!! How could I not know that...Maybe because no one ever talks about Austin. So if I were playing that game...ARe you smarter than a 5th grader...I would have lost all my money! I think I will blame this one on the BABY!! Its sucking my brain cells!

How funny! I blame everything on "pregnancy brain" when I'm preggers. Works for me. ;)

You are doing better than me; I can't remember conversations I had yesterday. Perhaps when our kids are in 5th grade we will learn this stuff again - that is if I make it past the multiplcation tables in 3rd grade. Shoot - honestly I should worry about tackling addition first :)
