GhostOfMumsnet · 08/02/2007 21:58

poor wee mikhail-he stumbled over such basic questions and words

wheresthehamster · 08/02/2007 21:59

Thats' taken the wind out of Mikhail's dad's sails

10weeksandcounting · 08/02/2007 21:59

I would be quite happy for my child to be a maths boffin! Wouldn't take after me though!

10weeksandcounting · 08/02/2007 21:59

Yes dad did look slightly deflated his score had gone down by 1!

i really wouldn't want my child to be gifted. smart, yes, but not gifted. funny to think that the financial rewards and glory are more likely to be there for a child gifted at football.

wheresthehamster · 08/02/2007 22:01

I'm sure there was no reason for him to have another IQ test I bet they just wanted him to get a much higher score. Now they're all disappointed. I'm starting to feel sorry for Mikhail in the future. I bet he's pushed.

I'm off to watch Boston Legal.

Dante looks like he could be a candidate for depression. Nothing he does or says indicates any sort of happiness.

nulnulcat · 08/02/2007 22:07

didnt dante have something to do with some sort of inferno? heres hoping that kid falls into one! sorry thats evil of me

GhostOfJuliet · 08/02/2007 22:08

I have no problem with kids being smarter or quicker than me. I do have a problem with kids who are cheeky little patronising buggers.

opengobeforethinkingagain · 08/02/2007 22:08

I knew this would be a good MN thread. Just been phoning backwards and forwards to my mum in complete disbelief at wierdo mum, toupe mute dad and 4 very bizarre stepford children. The oldest one had pearls on FFS!! There's going to be a few counsellors making sh*tloads of money out of that family in years to come!!

10weeksandcounting · 08/02/2007 22:08
