Toggle: M-m-missed first class! Mad at Mom! Alex: She meant well, Leo... she just thinks you're wearing yourself out, that you've got too much going on in your life. (OMG, did I just say that?) Toggle: She probably right... Alex: IDIOT! Toggle: C-c-cut school, maybe? Alex: Yes! I mean no! You're a soldier! Suck it up!

^It’s just the first class of the day.
Leo is doing a lot, but Alex’s reaction is pure emotion – she’s so happy he’s not considering his mom’s preferred solution.

@Joe Allen
Isn’t that the school when where Zonker’s nephew is “living” at?

By “living” I mean he’s just staying there, not learning anything and just riding the instructors’ nerves with his non-sequitars.

Joe, are you sure Toggle is going to Walden?
I know he did the campus tour with Zipper, but I thought that was just an opportunity for a cameo and a putdown of Zip.
I thought the trailer park was somewhere in the greater Washington, DC area.
Content has suggested that Alex stays at Joanie’s some of the time when she’s visiting Toggle and so far as I know, Joanie and Rick still live in DC (Alex must be keeping Amtrak or Delta Shuttle very happy, since she goes to MIT).
Also, I thought that one of the first times BD visited Toggle after he (Toggle) came back home - he stayed at Mark’s place (Mark lives in or near DC). I may be mixing that up with some other storyline.

“But, he’s only going to school at Walden College which seems to be an unaccredited institution. ”
You’re joking, right? Walden = Yale.

Multitasking, the art of doing several things at once badly.

@justice22: Have to admit I’d be more of an additional grandmother in the family than another kid. But sure do miss the RV travel since husband died. Sigh!
