[ WP ] In the near future , parents are able to genetically modify babies to boost their cognitive abilities . 20 years later , as the first cohort of `` super genius '' babies reaches adulthood , we realize we made a big mistake .

`` You know, Frank, I wish just once I could talk to my baby. You think I should talk to him?'' 
 
 `` Sweetheart..'' Frank embraces Judy as they watch their son jump into his car and pull out of their driveway. 
 `` He has a good life, remember, that's our job and we accomplished that.'' 
 
 `` Frank, do you remember what it was like when your parents were alive?'' 
 
 `` Oh yes. We'd be there for hours, they knew I had a crush on you before I even knew!'' 
 
 Giggling, `` Oh Frank and how they drove out 30 minutes when we were 16 and you got your car and our first time out you get a flat tire. You tried so hard to impress me!'' 
 
 `` Or how your mother helped us whenever we had an argument. What a wise woman she was, how much I've learned from her.'' 
 
 Judy sighs and eyes begin to water. `` Frank, I do n't feel like a mother. I feel like a cheater.'' Sniffling. `` He's on his way to work on things I ca n't pronounce. Everytime I see him I ca n't get a word in between his lawyer calling or his engineers texting him gibberish. How'd our boy grow up so fast. He does n't need me. He's only 8 Frank. He should be playing Frank. He should be playing.'' 
 
 Frank braces her as she sobs on his shoulder. `` It's a different time.. all the kids...'' 
 
 `` We cheated... And this is what we get....''
