Thomas Alva Edison, 1847-1931
Although Thomas Edison's childhood is fascinating and fun to read about, I am sure that he was the bane of his mother. Today he might have been classified as hyperactive and given drugs to slow him down. Then, fortunately, he was allowed to develop into the inventor who, as an adult, won--on the average--a patent every two weeks.
