Are We Smarter than a 5th Grader?

Let’s see. 5th grade was about 12 17 years ago, and it took me a while to do that kind of math.this doesn’t look good.

Cath and I were invited to be contestants in Decatur’s very own “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader.” And you know how they got us to agree to embarrass ourselves in front of a large audience? They called us “celebrities!” So we of course humbly accepted. (I’m fairly certain there will be a number of disappointed 5th graders on Wednesday night when they realize they aren’t going head-to-head with a real Decatur celebrity like the Mayor or Fire Chief. Sorry, kiddos!).

Also, it turns out this isn’t just about us being local celebrities, the proceeds go to the Glenwood Academy 5th graders so that they can create a legacy gift of art for the new 4-5 Academy in Decatur. Sweet! Art and education. I really can’t think of a better reason to make a fool of myself, can you?

Locals, you can still get tickets here for the event for this Wednesday night. Non-locals, we’ll be sure to ask someone to capture our most embarrassing moments for your viewing pleasure. Below are some of the real celebrities we’ll be sharing the stage with:

  2. Good Luck ! Those pics of you two are So Cute !! You girls haven’t changed much. btw, I forwarded another stylish blogger award to you on one of my last posts. Hope All Is Well !

  3. So epic. Did you guys ever switch classes? I convinced my friends who were twins to do that. Then they got in trouble and said it was my idea. I did my time, and it was totally worth it. They got through almost the whole day.

    Oh man game show too? I’m requesting this be the next AsianCajuns TV segment who’s with me?

  4. Wow! you guys are going up against the mayor? That’s awesome, you guys are super celebrities!! πŸ˜€
