Sassy girls are hilarious, right? Something about these sweet youngins acting like jaded, cheeky mini-adults makes for incredible entertainment. See: Darby Camp as a precocious elementary schooler on Big Little Lies, calling her mother “woman” and controlling the family aux cord. Or Millie Bobby Brown getting the bullies to sit-TF down in Stranger Things. Or Abigail Breslin’s pageant gal defiantly dancing to Super Freak in Little Miss Sunshine (#TBT). It’s like seeing a Chihuahua dressed as a lion for Halloween. That li’l nugget isn’t supposed to be all ferocious-like! How adorable. Even the ones bordering on teendom— say, Chloë Grace Moretz’s vigilante Hit-Girl in KickAss or Taylor Momsen’s wide-eyed-then-scheming Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl—delight audiences with their attitude. That is...until they start to grow up.
