I can definitely see how the world outside of MC would be particularly disappointing to a perfectionist child. He gets these great ideas for drawing (creeper, etc.), but at 4.5 his drawing skills are not what he wants them to be -- heck, at ten times that, my drawing skills are not what I would like them to be! I know all too well the crushing disappointment of art class when the picture just wouldn't come out the way it looked in my head. In MC, he probably has wicked skillz smile and can make things the way he wants them.

I have two kids like that. The world is lame.
