The Amazing David Lev

Research has shown that David (pronounced "Da-veed") Lev, the young boy pictured at left, is one of the smartest and cutest boys in Northern California (statisticians who work with data outside of the Bay Area have, for the most part, not encountered him, so we cannot assume that he would not blow away other boys around the United States, or for that matter, the whole world).









Since his parents John and Lara are my dear friend, I am lucky enough to be David's godfather. This means I have to talk like Marlon Brando when I am around them.











Sometimes, when he is throwing food on the floor, I take him to the park across the street from his house and we run around like wild men. We are forming a club called the "Full Tilt Club", open only to exuberant wild people.













David blends the best of the primal and the intellectual, making him a renaissance boy of sorts. For example, David eats about twelve books for breakfast. David has scored in the 97th percentile in reading, math, and spatial ability (compared to 7th graders across the nation). In addition, when he was an infant, a physician said his neuronal development was "off the charts."
