Reality checks are funny aren't they? You go your whole life thinking that you're fairly free of ego and then something challenges your image of yourself and it makes you feel as you're struggling to escape a paddling pool full of jelly. I've never thought I was the smartest person in the world, but I've read a bit, studied a little & been to a few places, I can usually keep up. The moment that it struck me that compared with Steph, I was basically a card-board cut out of a man and not an especially smart one at that, it definitely bruised the ego that I didn't think I had. Luckily, within about four seconds I realised that I was dating a beautiful genius who wanted to share everything she knew with me and my ego didn't seem so important anymore.
