YOU GOTTA GO, YOU GOTTA GO! 

This story bugs me, in a strange way. I am both amazed and a little pissed that this three year old girl is smart, having an IQ apparently of 135 and being the youngest member of the egghead club MENSA. I am probably pissed because I am NOT smart, I pretend to be but fail miserably when questioned by those who actually are smarter than me. But as I think about it, I am more pissed that this girl is smart and while being questioned by the morning show hag, the little girl tells both her parents and the host that she has a stomach ache and then says that she has to unload a package, AND they keep going with the interview, laughing and chuckling that she is about to or is prairie dogging it on the set. I’m steaming because, in my opinion, this really just a way for the parents to say “LOOK AT OUR KID, SHE IS SMART! WE’RE AWESOME! YEAH, SHE HAS TO S**T BUT NOT BEFORE WE GET OUR 15 MINUTES OF FAME IN!”

And she is a cute little girl, take a quick break, let her go to the restroom and really, to be safe, just talk to the parents. Roll video of her doing her “smart stuff” and give the parents what they want, a little pat on the back that they have a child smarter than them.  Giggle and throw it to the fat/skinny weather man giving you the national forecast that nobody cares about then throwing it to the local forecast then making stupid puns about the temperatures. Giggle.
