The parent is very well trained actually. The child is fine, he is the
youngest of 3 who unlike him were very well behaved in social situations.
(use past tense because they are now teenagers).
Nowadays, with even cartoons showing aggression and violence it has become
just that more difficult to censor the eyes and ears of our young. Add to
that, living in NYC with all the noise, commotion and terror that we were
recently exposed to it's no wonder that some kids have that extra boost of
energy to burn.
My comment was also meant as a friendly joke to the proud parent of the
seemingly phenomenal 6 year old that knows about "pointillism and still life
and sculpture and the expressive possibilities of media used by artists."
Unlike my little boy who is easily bored with museums, and is more familiar
and at ease with Crayola, sidewalk chalk and sprinklers in the city parks.
