80.875% Average - Honour Role

Yep that’s my boy!! Johnson’s a smart kid just last week he convinced me to cough up $50 bucks if he was to get an above average grade of 80%. Oh he’s smart. He probably knew he was above that mark and suckered dear old Dad into the bet. I should take advantage now and claim he’s a chip off the old block but I know the good marks come much easier to John. When I finally realized good marks were to my own benefit, I had to work really hard getting them. Through the school year I would give John a hard time for not studying or never having homework. In hindsight, I was right when I gave him a tough time for only getting 90% in guitar. If he finished just one more of those work assignments there would have been no doubt about being $50 bucks richer.

It never ends with this kid. He’s not here when I get home from work but left a message saying that his buddy James was picking him up to go to his work. James is pretty sure that his company is looking for more student help. He would start immediately. I think the job is telemarketing or something. I haven’t heard anything yet so maybe he got hired. First the honour role and then a job on the first day of his summer vacation.

Once again Johnson you have made Oh Mien Papa a happy and proud father.

Can borrow $50 bucks?


BTW, I put chicken thighs in the slow cooker, covered in Diana Sauce, this morning. They smell great!! It’s to bad John’s not here to enjoy. I’ll try and save him one. hehe
