From the time my older daughter was about 14, I suddenly became very stupid (it was amazing... happened overnight), almost incapable of saying anything coherent (which meant, of course, that she had to speak for me). Now I find it amusing when she calls me to ask about the simplest of things - how I did this or that. Whee.. I'm not stupid anymore! And I can actually form words around my ideas without any help from her! Imagine that! <G>
