I define "quirky" as a kid who says, "Yay!" because you got her another copy of her school science textbook that she can write on, then takes it with her to the toilet.

Half an hour later, she presents a cup of pencil shavings, and announces her plan to turn it into paint, as a science experiment, saying, "I'm a scientist."

And less than half an hour after that, says, "I don't even like science."
