Moments that Make a Mother Proud

We were all sitting at the dinner table, (Spaghetti Carbonara, with extra cheese) when I brought up, what I thought was an amusing little anecdote about a quasi-celebrity. It seems Kellie Pickler was on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and totally embarrassed herself.( http://youtube.com/watch?v=juOQhTuzDQ0 ) I told my family the question, "What European country is Budapest the capital of? First of all, NO ONE! in my family of six knew the answer. Most of their answers came from Asia. Everyone was surprised that it was Hungary. To be fair, it took me a long time to get that too. It just sounds like the capital of Mongolia or something. Anyway, I went on to the part where Miss Pickler thought Europe was a country. We were all laughing (except XX5, she was trying to sneak more cheese) and I didn't notice that XX13 had a quizzical look on her face.

"I guess I kinda thought Europe was a country too."
"Oh Baby, No. You don't know the continents."

"No, I'm really bad at geography."

Come to find out she is really bad at geography.

She could not name one continent without the help of XY10. Xy10, little history freak that he is, could name them all. She further, could not name the three countries that reside on the North American continent. Oh, It gets worse....She thought maybe Indiana might be one. Yeah... Indiana. And, ummm....is Hawaii a country? I was horrified. Laughing, of course, but horrified. How did I the trivia enthusiast of the world, the one who gets her daily endorphin boost by getting all the answers right on Jeopardy. How did I raise a kid who, in 7th grade, can not name one continent. Who thinks, maybe Hawaii is a country. I mean, she's cute and all, but, Seriously?

I don't even know what to say. Do you all think this is evidence that I never should have reproduced in the first place?
