He’s not badly behaved; he’s just got an oddly coloured chakra:
Indigo children were first described in the 1970’s by a San Diego parapsychologist, Nancy Ann Tappe, who noticed the emergence of children with an indigo aura, a vibrational color she had never seen before. This color, she reasoned, coincided with a new consciousness.
In “The Indigo Children,” Mr. Carroll and Ms. Tober define the phenomenon. Indigos, they write, share traits like high I.Q., acute intuition, self-confidence, resistance to authority and disruptive tendencies, which are often diagnosed as attention-deficit disorder, known as A.D.D., or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or A.D.H.D.

Pooters,
That Nancy Anne Tappe came up to me at the cinema recently and asked if I’d like some refreshments for the intermission. I said, “Ooh yes please, Nancy – I’d like a Kia-Ora please” and she said, “you’ll have an Indigo aura like all the others and like it.”
The woman’s a bitch, Poot – plain and simple.
Speaking of which, Tony Parsons’ first column for The Show is up:

He’s a hoot and a half, isn’t he!

“1970’s”? The NYT is in a more parlous state than I had thought.
Sounds a bit like that Cherie Blair off the telly.
My American pedant friends and I enjoy bonding over our irritation at the NYTimes‘ policy of sticking apostrophes into numerical decades (both 2- and 4-digit).
Mr Pooter,
We think Roberta Swipe may have died in an air accident in NYC earlier this morning. I know she was a regular reader of your blog so I thought you should know. All the details we have are posted up here:

I will obviously keep you informed as soon as we get any more news.
Regards,
Bob Swipe (Roberta’s brother)
