(1179) Manipulating adults from toddlerhood.

From my personal observation, a person with a co-dominant hemispheres brain is usually highly talented. A scientist who also aces in English literature would be such a person. We'll call him Long.

It was his father's 70th birthday dinner. He flew back from Hong Kong to attend the family function. When it came to the time to drive to the restaurant, it was to be a convoy of five cars. As he walked to the main door, his recalcitrant niece was lying across the empty space right before the door, kicking and screaming. There was no tears in her calculating and watchful eyes.

He lifted his right foot, gently turned the one-year-old over. From lying face down, she was re-oriented to lying face up within less than a second. She was shocked into silence for a moment. Then the pouting mouth turned into an "o" shape and the scream continued. The care-giver, who is a cousin, picked up the toddler and shushed her with a litany of reprimand.

Everyone overlooked the incident. Well, what do you expect of a forty-year-old bachelor? Also, most adults could not tolerate the show-off, controlling attitude of a bullying toddler. It was a calculating act to dominate a family gathering. Don't tell me that all babies are innocent. There is often one in ten who is almost born domineering and good at manipulating most adults.
