My wife has been watching Jeopardy and Pop Culture Jeopardy. She knows most the answers. I barely know any. Am I an idiot? I feel like one.

And it's true, I can't come up with those trivia facts quickly like when I was younger. I'm in my 70s now, but I can remember back to my teens and 20's when I knew a lot of the trivia answers on the game shows. Also I would easily beat my siblings and friends when we played Trivial Pursuit and other games.
My grandson who's now 18 and starting college, is brilliant in trivia just like I used to be. I know he gets it from Grandma.
