Independently of knowing of this blog, of course, The Beauootiful Miss Molly has nicknamed the littlest one “Mr. Justice”. You mean The Judge?, I ask. She laughs. He’s reading at a 5th grade level and comprehending a couple grades higher . . . (back at ya, Ears, with the trophy thing). Also, um, Natalia and he are a couple—Natalia is determined and he has little choice in the matter. He seems resigned to it, Molly says. They’re the only ones at their level, and she outweighs him by about 30 pounds. Being gifted brings certain burdens.

for Virgo this week: In the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel," a wicked stepmother convinces her husband that the only way the two of them will survive poverty and starvation is to take his children deep into the woods and abandon them. That way there'll be two fewer mouths to feed. The kids overhear the plan, and as the adults lead them into the middle of nowhere, Hansel, the son, surreptitiously leaves a trail of white stones. This allows him and his sister Gretel to find their way back home later. The stepmom is chagrined. A few weeks thereafter, she once again convinces her spouse to leave the children in the wastes. This time Hansel drops breadcrumbs to mark the path, but they're eaten by birds and the kids have no way to get back. Moral of the story: When you get sucked away from your source, leave clues that are more like stones, not crumbs. Alternative moral of the story: Don't return to a source that doesn't want you there.
