He can't be completely appropriate - he is Dean, after all!
Sam will gravitate to whatever makes him feel more comfortable. The idea that the case was more within his comfort zone than a class of four-year-olds? It makes me wonder how things would have changed if he *had* married Jess. That's not entirely fair...but it occurs to me that when he accuses Dean of not knowing any kids in Dead in the Water, that's also true of himself. But they react so differently to childlike things. Dean's so in the moment, and Sam's not. And a four-year-old is entirely all about NOW - and that's Dean to a tee.
