Who's wife is convinced they're a moron?

One tree frog gets loose in the house and she nominates me for Moron of the Year (her words)....WTF? Its a FROG...not a viper or a 15 ft. boa or pitbull or..... . I even found it (captured a body double first....then found the genuine article this morning). Anyone here relate?

Intelligence Quotient Scale:

Moron = 50-69

Imbecile = 30-49

Idiot = 29 & below

A moron says:
Hey, you see that idiot over there? Why are you acting like him? You know you're smarter than him, you imbecile.

My wife thinks I'm smart because I can finish the crossword puzzles she gets stuck on. She may call me names but moron isn't one of them.

The real question is did the tree frog pee on you when you picked it up ???

Nope - for her to think I was a moron would mean that she would have pay a little attention to me. Most of the time she just ignores me.

I get that too, worse was when I whipped her ass in trivial pursuit in less than 10 minutes. She got to miss one question then I swept her without missing one. Either that or the fact that she will ask me random stuff and I always know the answer. She may call me SOB or *******, but never moron.

Not that I'm aware. Does she like frogs, morons or both?

Ironically, invitation selection was the only part of our wedding which I was assigned. As I recall, it read "Join us as we take the big leap" with a large green frog on the front...

What I don't get is that I consider myself relatively smart. I'm an engineer, I can rebuild an engine, I can build a house, I can write software, I can do many things that most others can't but my wife will usually take any Tom, Dick, or Harry's advice over mine?!?!?! I don't even try any more. I just give her a blank stare and cock my head a little to the side, I figure it works for the dogs.
