I hadn't thought of it that way, merely as super-awkward. But I think that makes sense - he's behaved before in ways that make me think he's uncomfortable with the transition, so calling attention to it (and having the power to do so) could be acting as a relief valve for him. Boo! Welcome, Comrade PhysioProf, and thanks for the comment. I hadn’t thought of it that way, merely as super-awkward.
