Genius Uncovered

Most parents think their children are geniuses but
the Wormwoods don't notice their daughter even though she is a genius. "It's a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is
the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is
wonderful... Occasionally one comes across
parents who take the opposite line, and these
of course are far worse than the doting ones. Mr.
and Mrs. Wormwood were two such parents."
