You’re Not Smarter Than This Two-Year-Old

What does a cat say? Meow. What does Richard Nixon say? I’m not a crook. Chances are, you’re not smarter than this two-year-old. A reader tipped me off about this awesome video, highlighting Charlotte the toddler and her impressive grasp of presidential trivia. Not only can Charlotte identify presidents by picture and name them, she can rattle off their most iconic catchphrases too. I’m very impressed.

Charlotte’s dad says his daughter’s amazing grasp on US history was honed after they bought a plastic placemat from K-Mart with all the presidents on it. He put together a presidential placemat quiz, if you want to see how you stack up to Charlotte.
