Poor kid is ate up with cute. Fourteen is like a cusp year Not so much little kid anymore and still pretty much a stranger to the deeper world of Teen Trauma. Watching kids develop and progress is amazing, so much is still so new for them and each kid has their own route to navigate. Dev was great to watch as he approached his win. In a later interview he said it was a word he had practiced and felt certain about but wanted to ask all the permitted questions just for the experience. Perfect. I wish him great fun in his journey onward.
