I must say it has to be Kelly Pickler, former American Idol contestant. Pickler was a contestant on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" last night, and as cute as she is, naive as she is, she IS dumber than the proverbial hoe handle. The show made for great entertainment I must admit, I was rolling on the floor laughing. An example question: Budapest is the capitol of what country? After some hmmm's and eye rolling - Pickler wanted to say France, but favored one of her cheats to "copy" from the 5th grader. Good move...Budapest is the capitol of Hungary, which the 5th grader got correct. Pickler's comment was - "there is a place called HUNGRY?"
The fun part was when Kelly made the statement, usually reserved till the moment of loss,
at the beginning of the show "I am Kelly Pickler, and I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader." Needless to say, she had to repeat the statement as she left with $50K for her favorite charity.
I do enjoy listening to Pickler sing, but I really think she needs to advance her education some more. She displayed her naivete on American Idol, and invariably quite often when she happens to open her mouth in public since that time. Cute can only last for so long, and as she matures and maybe decides to marry (or not) and procreate, she needs to have more smarts to pass on to her progeny.
My advice, as you tour the country Kelly, grab some books to read along the way. Grab an atlas, and check out the globe a little. Read a newspaper and pick up tidbits along the way. Your brain is a sponge, let it soak up more information to help you along the way!
THEMOM has spoken, that is all the wisdom I have for the day! Oh, and Kelly, "watermelon" has 2 e's and only one "l". I'm done.
Take care and stay healthy...TTFN.
