Curvy Women Have Smarter Kids

My children are grown now, in their twenties, and both of them are very smart,
even if sometimes they express their smartness in unorthodox ways.

Turns out, it's because I'm curvy.

According to the November 10th issue of New Scientist, two scientists,
William Lassek at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania and Steven Gaulin of
the University of California, Santa Barbara, studied the performance of children on
cognition tests. They found that those children whose mother had wide hips and a low waist
to hip ratio scored better. This, they found, and it's sort of icky to think of, is because
the fetus needs the polyunsaturated fats stored in the mother's hips for brain development. I'm thinking there are some super- model's kids out there in deep trouble.

My kids, on the other hand, never suffered for a moment for those necessary fats. And that's why they're so smart.

My mother was a curvy woman, too. Draw your own conclusions.

Of course, as I said, my kids are grown.

Do you suppose that they can prove that curvier women, because of their stored-up fat supplies, stay smarter throughout middle age and into their elderly years?

If they can, I will have, once again, nothing to worry about.
