My extremely angry 14-year-old niece

Can you tell I typed right into the reply space and didn’t copy from a spellchecked WP?

Or the son is extremely creative and spooky brilliant smart and probably has about 50 IQ points over his father.

God, I hate that “hyperactive” label for bright, creative, high-energy kids. It’s only a matter of time before they start drugging that kid unncessarily instead of cutting off his sugar intake and making him go outside to play. You know, like parents did a couple generations ago before there were pills for everything.

I think the OP’s neice probably just needs to feel important. Being listened to can go a long way.

Except for that little “trying to stab mother” bit, unless I’m getting the “he” mixed up from the original sentence.
