Smart But Not Wise

Conversation C-Pop just had with C-bao:

C-bao: Daddy, King Solomon was the smartest king, right?
C-Pop: Well, he was supposedly the wisest.
C-bao: What's the difference between "smart" and "wise?"
C-Pop: Um...Wisdom is being able to make good decisions and having judgment. Smart is being able to understanding problems and complicated things.
C-bao: I'm smart but I'm not wise.
C-Pop: Hey -- you're right about that! How did you know that?
C-bao: And that makes me a little wise, right?
C-Pop: By George, yes it does!
