But I'm a factor, so I can't see it. And one family with three kids isn't a
scientific sample. We're in that place where we can't have "proof." Even if

be born to a mom of a different age, and into a different environment, with a
dad who had more money, or less sanity, or whatever all. <g> And the birth
order factors! Yikes!

At least school isn't frustrating his reason.
