He’s not a nut, lol. He’s an introverted Highly Sensitive child. It’s good that Petey is shown as understanding and naming his needs and behaviors. He’d be a nut if he wasn’t able to understand and cope.

Petey needs The Mighty Hammer of Thor to complete his ensemble. I think his dad keeps it in the garage.
