Someone old enough, but still insufficiently intellectually developed to know that the universe does not revolve around them.

Chelsea: But Dad, this is the last piece.
Paul: Go in and get yourself something else then.
Paul takes pie away from his daugher, she slumps back into the house.
Bek: (Aside to Kathryn) Paul is such a meanderthal - that poor kid loves banana cream pie!
