That's my point-he treats ALL of them, even Wilt, who certainly does not act any more childish than Mr. Herriman does-as if they were minors, minors who are unable to make decisions for themselves. This would be like me calling an adult male co-worker "boy" or "kid". It's a put-down, basically. There is no reason other than to basically state "I'm better than you are" to the other male IF's. Foster's care is basically like that of a homeless shelter, and workers at homeless shelters don't put down men who are unfortunate enough to wind up there.
