Ha, 'Neato! Is it that bad, really? Poor kid!

It does sound like a Calvin and Hobbes; it's actually very strange to see that reference here...

... Because ds6 has been *obsessed* with Calvin and Hobbes for the past four weeks or so. Dh loved C&H as a kid, and bought ds a few of the collections. Ds been reading these books over and over at bedtime and "quiet time.". He has his favorite strips memorized and makes us re-enact them in the car.

It's clear how much he identifies with Calvin; he even still has a very personified, large-in-size lovey that he still loves to death. I think Calvin is an admired hero among GT kids!
