The other day Ryun compared Emily to this guy.
At first, I was not really seeing the comparison until he said this:
"She's a likeable bullshit artist."
Then I got it.
Wikipedia describes a bullshit artist in these terms:
While bullshitting and bullshit can be used in a deprecating sense, the term 'bullshit artist' may imply a measure of respect for the skill required to bullshit effectively.
Ryun went on to say that she's going to be the type of kid that gets in trouble but either the act itself or the way in which she accomplished the act is going to be so clever, so funny that you can't help but laugh, or shake your head in amazement.
We are so in for it.
The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom; I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh... you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school. ~Ferris Bueller~
