Maybe. Yes Jake. You were onto something. Just not what you thought.

The fact that HIS family sucked so much he'd been taken away by social services buuuuut... "OOOH! My Lawson family grounded me a few times, that's true."
YUP! He was so into all this. Jake leant back on the back two legs of his chair, put his feet up on the desk and his hands behind his desk.
