J has been getting in quite a bit of trouble lately for being mean to his little brother. I understand that there may be some sibling rivalry here. Especially because T is very sharp in keeping up with J at reading and math which J finds incredibly annoying. So, I was quizzing the boys on three tiered math problems like 4+3+5 and T was keeping up with J very well and eventually one-upped him which definitely irked J. So J made up an equation of his own: Nerd + Nerd + Dumbhead = T. Obviously, this is unacceptable.
