Certainty vs. Severity

[zippyt]

Whit said I have discovered a nasty side effect. The boy has no respect for any authority whose reason for doing something is, "because I told you so." He's proven himself quite strong willed against a variety of adults. With plenty of clever responses and snappy comebacks. Much to my chagrin. Still, he often makes a few solid points in the midst of major problems. For that he has my respect, even if it does give me a headache...

It sucks haveing smart kids some time .:p :p
