Boy Genius

Based on my previous post Aliases for Safety on the Net, meet “Boy Genius.”  He’s our precocious middle child who, I’m fairly convinced, is fairly convinced he’s the smartest member of this family.  He’ll be 8 this year and is already reading well beyond his age.  We’re not sure if he comprehends everything he reads, but he absorbs everything like a sponge and has a memory like an elephant.

I picked the alias “Boy Genius” for him mostly because he seems to really thirst for knowledge, but also because some of the conversations we have with him are either precursors to genius or insanity.
