David:

I certainly agree Geoff that throwing tantrums are fair teenager 
game. What I was trying to say, inefficiently probably, was that up 
to now Harry's been a yeller and occassionally physical with 
adversaries.

It seemed out of character to me for Harry to pitch a throwing fit. 
I expected the yelling. I couldn't even see him picking up a chair 
to attempt to bust down DD's door, but just not pick up doodads and 
start busting them. I just thought it unusual for Harry.

BTW, my teenagers were/are a sulker, a yeller, and a mix-breed of 
both.
