Thread Name: BS: Boasting about my child!
Subject: RE: BS: Boasting about my child!
Well we don't have any geniuses here though they've been surrounded by them in school all they're lives, Christ have we heard about it too. I guess some of it must've rubbed off & we thanked them all cause it must've helped, they both graduated High School with one in college & another accepted & on his way. Well, anyway my daughter she turned out to be a pretty likable kid, she hung out with geeks & the cool kids & never put up with any gossip about or between her buds & walked off if some one pushed her into taking sides, she helped out with the underdogs & made newbies feel welcomed, orginized parties & proms so that eveyone was a king & a queen. She's the life of the party & she tries to share the fun & the brightness with all her chums. On the other hand our LD son had to fight evey fucking day of his life. Some thought he was lazy others said stupid & others still blamed us. He got big & strong & took martial arts & that took care of the bulling issues & his big sister used her pull & bron (she took martial arts too) to help him along his way but he's a loyal & generous friend to a fault & I wish I could say that I had his morals & honesty, turns out that this summer he's had his 1st real job & his work ethic is as sharp as his parents. Yup they're grades weren't great, some times even rotten but I can see that I'm gonna be real proud of my two, they'll both be folks that others will be happy to have as adult friends & they probably won't save the world but they're the kind that'll do their little bit to make the small world they live in a little better for eveyone else around them. The grades, when they're older,,,,,as long as they're happy with their lives I can die a,,,,,,
