The Delacourts, Wagners, and Quincys all have a disturbing sixth sense when it comes to Rodney. It is, John supposes, the kid sixth sense for adults who are uneasy and not entirely thrilled about their presence, sort of like how cats sense that some people are allergic and so make sure to climb into their laps. Paradoxically, Rodney has a gravity well or some weird pheromone that draws to him all kids under eight, and whenever they show up to pet Cash, or with remote-controlled cars in hand for fixing, or anything really, Rodney looks at them with a mixture of terror, bemusement, and annoyance before saying something cutting that the kids usually ignore.
