Wouldn’t the IRS just love it if folks got excited about paying their taxes? A very famous 16-year-old thinks it’s cool! From the TimesOnLine.com—Composed Wie not heavily taxed by cares of adult life. Excerpt:
The twinkling eyes are the same. So is the gosh-golly charm and the dangling earrings that are as long as the head of her putter. Michelle Wie looks, sounds and says that she feels the same now that she is 16 as she did when she was 15, which is to say that she remains the composed youngster who has the world of golf at her feet.But when a cake for her was wheeled in on Tuesday, the candles were lit and a spontaneous chorus of Happy Birthday arose from well-wishers, the reality hit home. The precocious athlete who is competing in the Samsung World Championship this week, her first event as a professional, had become old enough to drive a car and to fulfil other duties as a citizen. In time, these will cause her to groan inwardly, but in this, like so much else, Wie is effervescently different. “I’ve just got my first tax form,” she said, giggling. “It’s not something you should be excited about, but I thought it was pretty cool.”
