(the point here is quite interesting. on one hand, it is sort of fun to poke around that teenage rebellion and attitude that scott has, but on the other one, perhaps it is time to drop a little the whole annoying act to be real with the kid a little bit.

it's strategy, after all, he has been like this since forever -- it's not like he won't learn about it one way or another. better keep it controlled than scaring scott in such futures.)

Ah, it might not be, but it is true after all. I've always been like this, so it's preferrable to keep it wrapped -- ah, literally!
