Smartypants always has a twist in the subject. I like what she says and how she says it.
From her blog.

About Me
I'm a political junkie, pragmatic progressive and Obama supporter who believes in the long game and is always looking for the big picture.
People who've only known me as an adult find it pretty hard to believe that I was actually pretty timid as a young child. But when my mother thought I was "mouthing off" to her (in other words, standing up for myself), she'd refer to me as Miss Smartypants. It was supposed to put me in my place. Imagine that...calling a little girl "smartypants" is supposed to be a put-down.
This is one of those things that got lost in the shuffle as I grew up. Then one day I ran across a children's picture book titled Princess Smartypants by Babette Cole. All of the sudden those childhood memories came back to me. So I read the book and fell in love with it. Without giving away the whole story, here's how it starts:
"Princess Smartypants wanted to live in a castle with her pets and do exactly as she pleased."
Those memories and the book made me realize that I wanted to embrace the "smartypants" in me.
I love it, Cha
