Snookie's gestation period was 18 months, which probably accounts for his size for his age(12 years). Being the baby of the McFoul family, he leads a somewhat sheltered (from the juvenile authorities) life. He's a "student" at John Wesley Hardin Elementary, where he majors in Remedial Hanging-out', but does spend some quality time mugging an occasional drunk..his favorite pastime and temporary raison d'etre.
