==Extended Plot==
Sheldon is not the only precocious child in eastern Texas. Professor Sturgis welcomes Paige Swanson to the same university physics class that Sheldon has been attending. Filled with jealousy, he tries to purge his emotions through meditation. Connie suggest Sheldon is filled with envy.
George and Mary talk to Dr. Barry Swanson and his wife Linda Swanson, Paige's parents, about what it's like to raise a child prodigy. There are some similarities: Paige does the bookkeeping for Barry's dental practice, and he paid her in stickers, until she demanded money. Sheldon does the Cooper family taxes, but he's paid in binder clips (note that in "Mitch's Son and the Unconditional Approval of a Government Agency" it becomes a matter of official record that Sheldon is paid for doing the taxes in toy trains; either George Sr. is lying in this episode or Sheldon hadn't yet thought to ask for something more valuable than binder clips).
George and Mary hold in numerous greivances about Sheldon. The Swansons' experience with Paige, by contrast, sounds like a picnic... until George starts giving them beer.
Meanwhile, Georgie and Missy bond with Paige's ordinary sister.
