    finding yourself smarter than you know

    ok I not sure on how to do polls. but I finding out I know more about snakes and other things than I actually though I knew. ( now if i can just my spelling and gramer skills higher than a 5th grader lol) . recently I have been proven smarter than hte petshop people . aAS result I been offer jjobs at said store. I also been proven wmarter than the guy ownnig the store lol.. WHich i think irked the guy. I also realized that I know in some cases more than some breeders have done.. ( that or I am just really lucky lol) I asl found that the rodent care for rats and mice works almost perfect when I deal wit hthe asfs.

    so has anyone else realized they knew more than they thought, or dumber than they knew lol.. ar just about were your knowledge was thought to be???

    THe scariest part is my niece is caughting up to me in her interest and knowledge of snakes.. I find this surpriseing cause I am the only soruce of reptile info she get access too lol..

    Well, I think I'm finally smarter than my 7-year-old about these creepy crawlies! I stumped him a few weeks ago. And the word was HEMIPHENES! My son didn't know what that was!!! HAH!

    The scariest part is that my niece is catching up to me in her interest and knowledge of snakes. I find this surprising because I am the only source of reptile information she gets access to.
    It's not complete, but MAN, I'm sure 5th graders can write better than you.

    Re: finding yourself smarter than you know

    When you realize how much more you have to learn.. then you should consider yourself smart.
    When you learn to interact with others, without trying to sound superior, and learn how to impart knowledge to others in a way that they are willing to use, then you'll be smart.
