Here's a round-up of some of the worst offenders:
1. Rhoda, 9, is undoubtedly the biggest trouble maker in existence. She will always hold a special place in our hearts for her psychotic non-sequitor answers to anything we ask, and for the fact that someone apparently taught her sarcasm.
Common conversational example:
Question: "Why is it raining Rhoda?" Rhoda: "Because of my nose."
Question: "Where is your shirt Rhoda?" Rhoda: "In my nose."
Question: "How does it feel to be crazy in the head, Rhoda?" Rhoda: "Very nice, thank you."
There is no doubt that Rhoda's wily brilliance is unmatched, however. Here she is (on the left in pink) gearing up for a long (for nine-year olds) two mile race. No, she is not extremely passionate about racing long distances, but rather did so for the sole reason that she had done some calculations and determined that as long as she finished AT ALL she would receive the prize for her gender and age group. Smart little monster after our own hearts.

2. Ephantus, 11. At one point last year we thought Ephantus was sweet, and docile, and just simply pure at heart. When we shared this view with the orphanage manager, she laughed maniacally.
