On A Roll
The boy received two awards at school yesterday.
The first award was for student of the quarter.
The second award was for Administrator’s Honor Roll.
He finished the quarter with a perfect 4.0
His teacher also informed us that our boy would graduate from the 8th grade (schools here are K-8) as the Valedictorian.
This news made his parents proud but has brought fear into the young man’s heart.
The Valedictorian, you see, must stand up in front of people and give a speech.
Whereas he may have received his smarts from his mother, he did not inherit his father’s “up front” gifts.
I’m going to offer him $10 bucks if he works in either a quote from that famous Catholic theologian Ignacio “Nacho” Libre or the infamous (that means more than famous) Napoleon Dynamite.
Will he have to give his father $5 for a Dr. Wray quote?
That’s all you’re offering? $10? I had to pay half that much every time I mentioned my kids by name from the pulpit. I think he should hold out for at least $20. If you need the $20, I’ll give you $40 for the strat.
Those are some awesome accomplishments!
Congrats to “the boy.”
