I’m going to go with rubbing his hands together with an evil grin on his face accompanied by a manaical “And now I will take over the world…” laugh.

Probably from TV. Like I’m sure SpongeBob or Patrick uses air quotes.

My husband is a network engineer that majored in physics and the cello in college.

I majored in Opera Performance,gestate in my pajamas and blog about my ta-ta’s on the internet.

We have the “Different kinds of smart” conversation on a REGULAR basis.

If he learns to make that fart noise with his armpit, do you think he will teach me? I’ve always wanted to be able to do that.

Oh I love your family so much. I have been trying lately to prove my 6yo is not the smartest person in the world, just because he knows what 10,000×10,000 is (try it, adults often guess wrong, except your FIL I imagine). Because I too am so mature.

And my dad used to be like your FIL, but seems to have lost a lot of it right when I need him for the science fair projects

I’m not as smart as your father-in-law, but I do know that you used the word “me” correctly in your opening sentence. Backpacking dad is really smart too, but I think he made it sound a tad confusing with all that reflexive and intensifying hocus-pocus…. If you want to check yourself, just break it down to the most basic form of what you are trying to say. “He sat down to dinner with me.” After you do that, you can add in anyone else you want: We sat down to dinner. It was my husband, the in-laws, the Goon Squad, 2 dogs, 4 cats, the neighbor lady who is always snooping around in our garage, and me.

See? Easy…….
