What’s a conundrum? Because I think I have one. My talented intelligent son (I think that’s how I described him on my profile) won a Proficiency Award at school. He was suppose to accept the award during the school assembly but decided to skip. At first I accused him of chickening out, not wanting to get up on stage in front of everybody. When we had a chance to talk he told me, its like when the athletes receive awards for playing sports well these academic medals are for the nerds. I guess I can appreciate that he doesn’t want to be known at school as a nerd. John skipping school to avoid accepting the award isn’t so much my problem tho. Tonight I come home to find he’s been suspended from school for three days. He’s been skipping his second period, decided he didn’t like the course and just stop going. He deletes the phone messages from the school before I get home from work. My work phone number on file at Delta is an old number so when they couldn’t reach me they called Sherry to let her know they were sending him home today. The same day he received his honours roll award they ban him from being on school property for three days. Interesting side note, when I got home from work tonight the dishes were done.
