brittany fish -- wunderkind

Brittany Fish, age 7, showed wisdom far beyond her years when George Bush's rambling sent her into tears during a White House ceremony:

President Bush bored Brittany Fish to tears Wednesday, prompting the leader of the free world to apologize to the little girl for being so dull.

...

Apparently Bush launched into a rather long-winded speech about the significance of the Oval Office. Brittany - usually a bundle of giggles - got antsy, complained she was bored, then started to cry, [her father] said.

Okay, so the reasons for me and (presumably) many others crying are more fear-related than boredom...but she's on the right track.
