Do you think kids make you smarter?

After watching The Wiggles for hours on end and beginning to drool....

I'd say no.

I am definitely more forgetful and lose things more often now that I have kids. Maybe it's the added responsibility of taking care of two other people or maybe those pregnancy hormones zapped my brain cells.

On the flip side, having children has made me "emotionally intelligent" and more resilient in everyday situations.
