I think I do. I made A's and B's in school (I worked at it. I'm not going to lie about it.) But certain obvious things totally escape me. Sometimes I'm just on a different wavelength from reality.
I remember I had a friend I worked with at a restaurant and she was just so much fun. She wasn't dumb by any stretch, but she was all blonde for sure, through and through. She told me she had thought for years that the "E" on her car's gas gauge stood for "Enough"! Haha! And the best part of what was already an endearing anecdote was that she wasn't ashamed in the least. I love this kind of person.

Sometimes I'm just on a different wavelength from reality. Yeah, I definitely know that I'm " on a different wavelength" from many others, including several posters on these boards... I try to keep that in mind with dealing with others... and sometimes we can still see eye to eye on various topics... But other times it's like we are speaking two different languages and we get absolutely nowhere, and I just can't understand why that is, or how to solve our communication problems... Perhaps it is be because of "dingbat blood"... However, I think the more important question is... Which one of us is the one who actually has it? LOL!

I don't really have dingbat moments.
I have a friend who was horrible in school. She barely got out of high school.
BUT she has uncanny sense when it comes to understanding people. She is much better than I
Now education is important but this ability is invaluable.

I'm absolutely a dingbat. I left my purse at a table when I was 25 then got upset when it got taken

I was an honours student in grades 11 and 12 in high school.
I pulled off a 75% average in the courses I took in university.
Essentially, I like to think I'm smart.
However, I do have some moments that make me go....WELL....DUH!
