the 4th wise man....

so now there is no room at the inn. we have 4 clients and we are at 'full capacity.' carmella, ben & i often wondered how the house would work with another big...crazy...personality. and now we know. enter who we will call einstein. a 14-yr old boy with a high IQ who loves to spout off big words, such as:

alchemist
metaphor (breaking it down into the greek and latin roots of the words)
hypotenuse
the saying "her IQ is probably the equation of pi"

and that is only the tip of the iceberg. carrying on a conversation with this fella is as difficult as trying to get carrot top's parents to let him come home on christmas day. he also bounces around when he gets anxious or excited, carmella has nicknamed him 'tigger.' one small tender mercy is that einstein and ernest have quickly become BFF's. which is good because they are sharing a room. and because he is now occupying ernest's time so that we do not here "hey ben, hey ben, hey ben" 30,000 times a day. but still, i am asking myself, why do we have another client that i honestly do not see being able to function normally in society one day? where are the kids that just need a temporary place to stay, some teaching interactions, and then will be able to cope with the reality of life? WHERE OH WHERE HAVE THE SANE ONES GONE?
