"terrible twos"

I regret to inform you that it has just begun. They say it is actually "terrible todlers," but from what I have seen in even the most mild mannered children, the tantrums, unexpected fits, and melodramatic meltdowns continue until... er.. um... some time in the 20s? ;-) I know I was a much worse 12 year old than 2 year old... luckily, my parents didn't have to deal with the 22 year old... :-)

Yeah, the amazing thing is that the students doing the majority of the whining are my non-trads! Sometimes it just amazes me!
