Poll: Angel versus asshole?
The other day a friend called me giddy: She had had her son’s intelligence tested and he scored genius high. “We won the jackpot!” she said. By the end of the day, of course, she was back to cursing her boy wonder’s usual stubbornness. Which led me to a philosophical question: Would you rather your child be a brilliant asshole or a stupid angel?

Stupid Angel trumps Brilliant Asshole every single time. Assholes hurt people intentionally. Plus, I think stupid kids are happier kids. Maybe.
