On another topic:

Last night, my son was telling me about school (he's in first grade), and he was lamenting that in his math group, they do lots of worksheets, and in the other math groups, the kids play games.

He asked his teacher if he could be transfered out of the "work" math group into the "play" math group, but she said he would learn much more in the group he is in, so he has to stay put. He wasn't happy about this. I told him that I understood that it seemed like it would be more fun to play games, but that he goes to school to learn, not just to play. Here's how the conversation went:

dtb: Offspring, you go to school to learn, not just to play games.

dtb.jr: [Derisive snort] I go to school to play recess and eat lunch.

We laughed and laughed. Oh, how we laughed.

He sounds irritable. Have you checked to see if there is anything you could correct to cure this? Maybe his underwear is too tight?
