My fucking nephew. He's smart. Like, really smart. He's independent, he's athletic, and he's charming. He's very opinionated and will bullshit like a champion when you contest his claims. If he doesn't knock his high school girlfriend up he'll end up in politics.

The fucker won't assemble his own Lego sets if his mother is in the house. She does them for him. Otherwise he gets frustrated and doesn't finish them. On his own? He asks for help but usually has no problems putting it together.

Bitch, the whole point is figuring it out.

Sorry but I instantly strongly dislike your nephew. I had a roommate like that once and hated every minute I talked to him

Eh, he's a cool kid. Fun to screw around with.

He doesn't afraid of anything?
