Background: This summer our youngest beast took his first high school class just to get it out of the way and free up an elective during the school year.
Mom: “How did you do on your health test this week?”
Beast: “I got a 74.”
Mom: “A 74, that isn’t very good at all for a class that is supposed to be an easy A. This is your first high school class babe. Grades really count starting now. You can’t start high school with a C in a basic class!”
Beast: “No mom, it’s fine. The teacher said that most kids got a C since this was a really hard test.”
Dad: “We don’t care what most kids got. Did you even study for the test?”
Beast, rolling his eyes and taking on the know-it-all tone: “No dad! You don’t study for an open book test.”
No. No you don’t.
If this is any indication of his high school readiness… it’s going to be a long four years. Pray for us, please.
