I had a great conversation with my son this morning about the difference between being “stupid” or doing something that is dumb. While I am against name calling, I do recognize that “common sense” is not very common in today’s society and a large portion of the population do not emphasize getting a solid education (see inner city public schools). That being said, I firmly believe that everyone has special talents and if properly encouraged can do amazing things AND even the smartest people in the world are capable of doing something “stupid” like wearing brand new tennis shoes to mow the yard.
