I try to be patient...

...but my younger daughter is simply infuriating. Try to tell her anything, like how to study for the second run of the state capitals test that she flunked miserably today, and she goes into a totally over-the-top 'dumb blonde' routine.

At least it's not one of the six-hour tantrums her sister used to throw -- at least she's grown out of them by now.
