<p>I don’t think the darling is legally employed. Life is so tough.</p>

<p>tokenadult, thanks for posting the article on “Mary Little-Savant _ the daughter of local garbage man Bud Savant and his wife Agnes Little, a semiprofessional Beanie Baby collector” </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The little savant - great stuff although John Breneman did not venture to map out possible career plans.</p>

<p>That was hysterical (chocolate milk at McSorelys, frat house high-jinx at 7).</p>

24

<p>LOL that was a nice breather :)</p>

<p>Won’t have been surprised if that really was true though, at the rate at which things are going nowadays!</p>

<p>The first clue that it was a hoax was “…capped off his accelerated education by receiving his MBA from Villanova University at the tender age of 10.” Villanova does not have a regular MBA program. They have an Executive MBA program, a Full Time Equivalent MBA program, a Professional MBA program, and a joint MBA/JD program. The Professional and Full Time Equivalent programs have average ages of 28 years old and 5 years of work experience. I doubt if 'Nova would even accept him. </p>

<p>BTW…the article gave me a chuckle…lol.</p>

<p>Pretty funny. My neighbor’s very smart daughter skipped 7th grade and graduated from college in 3 years…so now she’s 19 or 20, working at a full time job that she could have for-oh, the next 45 years or so…why does that not sound like a great decision?</p>

27

<p>^^well, if she really wanted to, she could have gone backpacking in Europe for a couple of years after college or something…</p>

<p>The story of Adragon De Mello is not a hoax.</p>

<p>See [Adragon</a> De Mello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adragon_De_Mello]Adragon”>Adragon De Mello - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Child Labor Laws prevent underage full time employment, so it’s a hoax. Moreover, every child deserves a childhood.</p>

<p>The thoughtfulness of his quotes gave it away for me.</p>

<p>“Then, left alone in the Mensa testing room, she critically dissected Immanuel Kant’s “Categorical Imperative” in a spirited debate with her Malibu Philosopher Barbie.”</p>

<p>WHAT!? That Kantian torture took me two years to understand…barely understand. This has got to be a hoax.</p>

<p>"Perhaps the most challenging question was this: “Ms. Little-Savant, how do you respond to allegations that you are nothing more than the imaginary creation of a slightly demented newspaper humor columnist?”</p>

<p>Oh it is. I feel less stupid now.</p>
