ARDMORE, Okla. -- You may have heard it before and thought it was an old wives tale, but there was a serious discussion about personality and the order in which children are born Wednesday in Ardmore. Robin Beal was there, and he had a little quiz for a certain KXII-TV anchorman.

The “leader lesson” was put on by the OSU Extension Office at hardy Murphy Coliseum. A few dozen ladies were in attendance for the lecture and the discussion was actually pretty lively at times.

The tough questions were asked…

-Is the youngest kid always a holy terror?
-Do middle children really tend to be underachievers?
-Is the only son predisposed to being a momma's boy?

“A first born child is going to be more intelligent than his siblings, not necessarily more intelligent than the general population. Probably will be a higher earning person, they're rule followers, they have the leadership skills,” Cindy Clampet at the OSU Extension Office says.

Of course, it was somewhat unscientific. There are exceptions to any rule, but organizers say that these old wives tales do have a little bit of credence.
