An interesting thing is happening, now, though, in that I think a transformation from pleasant youth to cranky adult is currently happening, right in front of my eyes.

(And no, it's not me looking in the mirror, I've always been cranky!)

So, I've got this tentative theory: Might it be that people's jobs are what turns them into what they are?
Over the course of one year, someone went from being an easy-going, good-humored
type of fellow, to a snappy, frowny one, who doesn't understand jokes.
And seemingly the only thing that's changed in that time was that this fellow happened to start working as an assistant teacher for very young children. 
Hm...
Is there a connection?
Do you think that if someone's grows accustomed to scolding and listening to the simple speech of undeveloped humans, will they behave differently even with their peers?

Oh, also, I caught a cold
