My ds13 is very introverted. But very smart and very smart alecky...just with me and a lot in his head. I was talking to one of his teachers and the other day he came out with a doosey of a smart ass zinger and the entire class stopped, turned towards him, stared with open mouthes and then cracked up. The class was not prepared for that to come from him.
