If you're not a tiger parent, what animal parent are you? Maybe a mongoose or something? How about a rabbit? I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Stephen Dubner.

And you're listening to No. Stupid Questions. Today on the show, do bratty kids become bratty adults? When I was growing up, if anybody asked me who are the popular kids, I would say, well, Meredith is popular.

And which prison is she in today? Also, what makes a good friendship? We remember the same commercial for aluminum siding. Angela, I have a question here from a listener. Would you entertain that?
