Yeah. Keep in mind that even the smart kids don't always act well. I was a pretty smart kid- I skipped a head a year in math and went into school a bit early and even using my superior (I'm joking) brainpower I can't figure out why I hadn't been shot. I was pretty much the worst combination of Duchess and Bloo. The reason I mention this is that I, supposedly gifted, acted a lot worse than everyone else around me, and most of my friends were like Mac. Normal and reasonable. So he's not THAT rare, you just have to treat the kids like they're adults and they will grow up to be proper adults.
In other words, Mac isn't unique but he is a great character. I mean, unique among people. Among cartoon characters he is.
And, for some reason, he looks and acts like my oldest brother! (Without the sugar)
