If You Were Smart, Than Dunce Would not be Your Only Vocabulary Word

I'm afraid that my boyfriend is an idiot.
He tries, but to know avail.
And he's cute,
polite,
And amazing in bed but he's not smart and it's starting to really get to me.
What's worse is he thinks he's smart.
I'll admit he is pretty clever, which is probably why he thinks he's so smart.
But he's not at all an intellectual.
And  that's real smartness.
When you can not just read a book but actually comprehend and enjoy it.
All he reads are Yu-gi-oh! cards.
He thinks Obama is a good president, but he doesn't know why. His excuse is, "He's better than Bush."
And if he had truly been listening, we would have known that the words, "Bush is better than Obama," never escaped my lips.
And why would it?
Bush was a bad president too, no doubt.
But he likes Obama because Obama is black.
He likes Yu-gi-oh! because it is a nerdy game with strategy. It makes him feel smart, the same way being clever makes him feel smart.
But I need him to read a book. The newspaper. I need him to sit through an actual conversation where I don't have to pretend that I'm ghetto-fab.
Because my boyfriend is a first class idiot and idiots scare the hell out of me.
