Said sibling may not appear (letting the audience take that role) and the '''Adorably Precocious Child''' can attach to the closest adult who lets him—this is especially common if he's also a [[Mouthy Kid]].

And when addressed telepathically through Mind Read, he had a perplexing case of [[Little Professor Dialogue]].
