Grandma’s not a genius

You don’t have to be a genius to get into Harvard. In evidence are some presidents and congressmen I can think of.

If not Harvard, Earl, then how about Yale?

The only one she leaves out is Earl.

Most kids seem smart as they learn new stuff, THEN they turn into idiots

Let Harvard make the first move. That’s what I did (still do?).

Sometimes Earl is both very contemplative and very practical.

I’m no genius, and I don’t have all the answers…if you don’t believe me, just ask my teacher.

The cat, of course, only went to Princeton.

I’m sure this breaks some fundamental rules. Grandparents are required to believe their grandchildren are geniuses.

Well, he does lie around all day and get free room and board.

If Opal were French, she’d think Jerry Lewis was a genius.

Muffin is no genius, just smart enough not to get involved!

So are you saying that her “genius” standards are a bit low, Earl?

A Cat Genius would know how to clean its own litter box.

Earl’s presence has distorted her perspective.

Be serious, Harvard and the other Ivy schools are no longer interested in excellence, they are all about diversity. If you want excellence, you have to look elsewhere. Worthless degrees going forward.

Earl needs to encourage Nelson…oy

Probably true, but your grandson is not a cat.

Of course, the cat thinks they are all mentally suspect. :)

Harvard accepts geniuses? All they graduate are idiots.

genius is a very slippery concept actually

Way to go. Take down the boy’s ego. Years of therapy thanks to stupid grandfather

Way da go Grampa – Hit him with the truth at an early age…….. nice.!!!!

To get into Harvard all you need is money…lots of it…and an influential parent. The recent scandal proves it.

or——————you could just claim to be a genius—-a STABLE genius at that (per 45)

Well, he’s getting toward the age that the oldsters should hide all their Sears longere catalogs.

True Geniuses go to MIT .

cats are genius

Grandma, A rare ancient Aramaic word for Over Exaggerator.

If I were grandpa, I’d quit while I’m ahead.

Glad to see they were able to get the crayon out of his nose.
