I know a guy — let’s call him Goofus . . .
Goofus is dumb. I don’t mean that in a colloquial way. I don’t mean that he’s uneducated. I mean he clearly has a subnormal level of intelligence.
The most striking thing about him though is that he’s completely unaware of his own limitations. I’ve never heard him utter anything but platitudes and nonsense but in his mind, he’s the most interesting man in the world.
So many kids by the age of 12 or so have had their confidence in their own abilities extinguished by parents and teachers, that I really have to give Goofus’s parents a lot of credit.
I’m not kidding. They raised a supremely confident idiot.
Hope it’s not me…

Good to see your still quick with the pen… er… keyboard.
HA! If you see one that says “I know a multi-talented genius…” that could be you.
I think I used to know that guy.

Different guy.
