Didn't you really mean "I stand as a proud counterexample (?)" because, you know, I can just bust your chops about that.
My parents did, however, worry about regression to the mean*, or at least they told me so jokingly, which says rather a lot about my parents and the level of humor in our household.
Yeah, and my folks were afraid that they'd somehow produced a jock that they somehow wouldn't be able to communicate with. But when I started falling on my face while learning to walk, despite having a freakishly large vocabulary, their worst fears were dissipated. Little did they realize that I was a klutz and would require monthly ER trips during summer vacations. Today, I think my folks would have been investigated for child abuse from what I managed to do to myself.
And it never stopped. I tripped over a chair the other day and I think I broke my right pinky toe - again.

Sigh.
I need a well-padded universe.
