a census taker tried to test me once....

Excerpted from the "Psychoeducational Report" prepared as part of Morgan's IEP:

[Morgan] made gestures that looked as if he was turning a knob near his ear and looking at a book. ... He also seemed to be trying to make the testing more interesting when he began answering in pig latin.

My boy!

I shold know better than to read your journal while drinking. As a test giver that would crack me up but I have more humor than some of the test givers I've met.

Remind me to tell you about the son of my first crush. Sounds familiar...though I must admit, you're a helluvalot more intelligent than my first crush was. The son had clearly inherited his savvy from his mom and his poor dad had no fighting chance.


[so sue me, I wasn't caring about intelligence when I was 7]

Or is that proudly strange?

Can I arrange to have any children I may have betrothed to Morgan?

Hey! Wait! Get in line! I want red-headed grandchildren!

Actually, it's a 504 plan rather than an IEP. The report was part of the school's team assessment. :)

I was a very weird child, too, and did weird things when they tried to test me, too. This can be bad, because its impossible for a tester to get something accurate if you are just playing games with them. It's worse if they aren't smart enough to realize you are playing games with them, or that you just don't "get" the idea of going through psychological tests.

It is extremely important when you test very smart children that you explain, in detail, what you are doing with them and why.
