Is he a termite?

I just noticed teeth marks on the gate that keeps X-man in his room.

I've decided that he's either going to be a comedian or a band director when he grows up.

Why?

Comedian:

X-man: "Not pick self up!"
He puts his hands on his hips and hops up like he's trying to pick himself up.
Me: "No, you can't pick yourself up!"
X-man: contagious fit of laughter

Band Director:

playing catch with a beach ball
X-man: "One more time!"
He tosses me the ball and I toss it back.
X-man: "One more time!"
and it repeats...
