Louie’s always had a talent of reading situations and finding the best solutions to problems.
There were only two problems with that.
1: He didn’t think that was a skill.
Louie Duck is a boy who sees the world very differently from the average person. He can take a paper clip, a styrofoam cup and a pair of scissors and create an entire con from it (though the last time he did this he actually caused a mental breakdown from the poor shmuck he was tricking. I hear that poor man lives in the woods with his brethren the mighty squirrels of the great Oak now and is referred to as “Father Chestnut”. Don’t ask.) He can read when his brothers are going to start fighting, sometimes even before they can, and finds ways to distract them beforehand. Once he collected money from his entire class for a fake product, but when he was cornered outside by the chalk, he saw the rocks and colours and gave all the angry kids “design your own paper weights”.
The thing is, he doesn’t realize he’s doing this. He just thinks anybody could do what he does if they wanted to. He believes that other people don’t because they’re better people than him. And being referred to as the evil triplet probably just affirms that part for him. He thinks he’s a bad person, and that’s that.
There’s also issue #2: He’s often ignored.
He used to tell his brothers his ideas when they were little, but they often disregarded them, if they heard him at all.
He was the youngest, what would he know?
So Louie gave up trying to tell them how to solve their problems, and focused on his own.
That’s why he didn’t realize he had this amazing gift.
It was always ignored.
But our boy is definitely sharper than the sharpies. And now he KNOWS it.
He won’t be letting anyone forget it anytime soon either.
