About This Quote

The phrase 'You know, a real genius would have known I wouldn't get it,' comes from the title of an episode of the comedy series, The Simpsons. It refers to a character called Sam in the episode who is being tutored in English by an attractive young woman named Astrid. Sam's teacher is not very good at teaching, and not very nice to her students either. Later in the episode, Astrid explains to Sam that she isn't a real genius, but rather has 'twenty-two different uses for the word 'dude.''This phrase could also be used by parents, which makes it even more obvious what this quote means.

It means you are not a genius because you do not understand your child or understand what they are saying. If you are having trouble understanding your children then ask them to slow down or weaken their vocabulary because that will make them sound less intelligent to you.
