Zig-zagging Wise Beyond Their Years?
If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
Bob is three years old. But he has the brains of a twelve year old, the strength of 3 adults. Bob is always dragging his friends on stuff he wants to do, doesn't look before he leaps, and Alice and Charlie are fairly exasperated with him, until they remember that he's not acting any worse then any other three year olds they've met, and that even if he has tons more smarts, his level of maturity is completely average. Also, when he doesn't get what he wants, he takes it with quiet dignity, which is eons ahead of most other 3-year olds. When he causes Alice and Charlie grief, it's due to pure oblivion that they're not having as much fun as he is, not genuinely being malicious. So it's just someone superficially appearing one way, but then when you take in the circumstances and understand the motives they're not as bad at all.
