The Know It All

I started to read at the age of three and know all the winners on Jeopardy have posters of Einstein all over my walls the theory of relativity my favorite of all, Since my parents and teachers and I all agreed I skipped grades and earned an early Doctorate Degree I'm a walking talking human encyclopedia my brilliant brain to yours far superior, Just ask me anything about history, math or science I love to hear myself talk even about the latest appliance in detail I'll explain to you how it all works as I'll never quite understand your cranium quirks, The few friends I have all belong to the same club where the MENSA rules mean an IQ of 130 and above when I get together with my ordinary family at the holidays I try to explain the cosmos to them and they all walk away, I've even heard them whisper he's just a know it all avoiding eye contact with me as they scamper down the hall but since I'm a rocket scientist genius I can't help but take delight in having your full attention as I explain Einsteins theory of light, I guess my family's new nick name for me is really quite fitting no longer called Einstein but now known as Sheldon. 11-26-17
