Plot
Texas. Here people are as harsh as possible. But not Sheldon. He is a typical mama’s boy, which infuriates his father terribly. George plays an important role in the boy’s life, but still Mary occupies the dominant position in his heart. In addition to the smart guy, there are two more children in the family. Sheldon’s twin sister Missy and brother George Jr.
Because of Sheldon’s strange habits, his love of discipline, order and sneakiness, his family is having a hard time. The mother is much more patient than the rest of them, she is ready to explain to the child why it is impossible to behave this way, but Missy and the two Georges have long lost their patience. Scandals constantly occur in the family, the center of which is Sheldon.
Not realizing the damage he causes to the family, the little genius continues his passion for physics. He enjoys testing various rules that have long been proven by other scientists, creating new ones, and later completely getting acquainted with the concepts of string theory, which later will play an important role in his life.
