I dunno, my Dad always said that he expected me to be smart enough not to get caught doing whatever I wasn't supposed to be. If I got caught, I got in trouble for whatever I was doing AND got the "You are supposed to be cleverer than that, Jillian" speech.
So, maybe I *DO* need to make you watch Psych, after all.
When I was in college and severely depressed, I honestly had no clue what was wrong with me. I ended up reading a checklist of depression symptoms in a Reader's Digest, and, as silly as it may sound, it was a huge wake up call and a relief to finally know what was wrong with me. And, even then it took me a while to seek real help. Maybe some sort of check list on depression symptoms with a list of services given to the kid might help, especially if there can be some sort of follow up by someone in authority? Just a suggestion.
(this was a case where the student turned in a law review article word for word)
"Dammit! I x-ed out the author's name with a Sharpie and wrote mine! How could they possibly have detected the subterfuge?!"
"Steve...have you ever thought about changing your major to 'Henchmanry'?"
Re Em's future world domination - MM, you may find yourself permanently deprived of kisses (Hershey's and any other kind). That kind of evil doesn't take well to being thwarted.
or, you know, "Loyal Minion" might work.
I should know, I do run a fanblog.
"Minion Father," like Queen Mother.
Or Minion Daddy, depending on how young she is when she achieves a death ray.

It's a chance I'll have to take. Otherwise, Em may end up being a second- or third-rate villain like Captain Boomerang, and I just couldn't take the disappointment.
Remember: The children are our future. Granted, it may be a dismal and dark future under the cruelly oppressive thumb of an evil despot...but at least this despot is a cutie-pie.
With a taste for chocolate.

Maybe we should keep Em and Clovis away from each other.
well, that's more than we can say for the last despot we had.
