Time to grow up

One nice thing about middle school is that many of Kevin's grades are posted online. While some teachers don't use this feature all that much, Kevin's math teacher uses it constantly. He had taken a math test last Monday, his second of the year. His first test was ok....he should have done a lot better so we made sure he studied for this one. So, by Friday, he hadn't received the results, and there, in the email, it came through. 102/100.

So, I pick him up from school, quizzed him to see if he had brought everything home from school that he need for the weekend, and told him we'd be going to Starbucks for some hot chocolate.

D: "do you know why?"
K: "because I remembered all of my items"
D: "Noooo"
K: "Oh, my math test. How did you know?!?"
blah blah blah
D: "See what happens when you study? You'll have to make sure to study for all your tests from now on"
K: "Why??? Waaah"
D: "It's not elementary school....time to grow up now"

Went to Uncle John's Cider Mill.....pumpkins procured, fruit flung (really! by slingshot even..), apple cider swallowed.

Penn State wins. Good. Penn State FB players arrested. Bad. Joepa "road rage"? Hilarious....
