I just finished watching our First Grade Awards. Every child received an individual “citizenship” certificate. There were things like “most creative” and “friendliest” and “dedicated.”
My son’s turn came. I imagined some of these awards:
- Future star of “Cops”
- Best chair toss
- Overcame most obstacles to still pass
- Most Days In-School-Suspension
- Most Creative / Decorative use of a school lunch
- etc.
What he actually received was “Most Athletic.” Which is okay. I’ll take it.
