Keith and I have decide we are Indigo Children (we had to google it).
In addition, the criteria would make a great meme. (scroll down: http://www.indigochild.com/)

Seriously, I just don't get it. Are they talking about child prodigies or just assholes? It seems that they don't have to be smart, they just have to feel entitled.

Adolescent introspection and self-absorption, I thought.

Parental self-absorption and denial, I thought.

Crazy Conspiracy Dude had the author of the books on his show many months ago and she was talking about it. Apparently, they are wiser souls who are "differently abled" and will take over the world and exist in a higher sphere of whosits.

When I was teaching, I had a lot of these kids in my "special needs" class. We called them Emotionally Disabled and ADHD and "raised by permissive parents who spoiled them".
