High IQ

Iralee is smart.

And not just the normal "ABCs 123s" smart.

You cannot teach someone this kind of smart

Case in point:

She has been known to take food off of other people's plates. 

It's not that I am not giving her enough food, she just prefers to taste everyone's food

Whoever sits by her has to stand guard that she may take or spill their food. 

She has learned the power and use of distraction.

She will get the person's attention by offering kisses:

 Sometimes she will grab her brother's food while she is kissing him

Then she'll lean in for a "hug", while trying to sneak the food

 Sometimes the brother becomes aware

 We may think she's done for

 But she knows better

 She will be lovey-dovey again

 And wham-bam she won the food

If she's doing this now, I do not want to know what she'll be doing when she's a teenager
