Student of the Month
OK, so we’re only three weeks into the school year, and guess who’s already been awarded Student of the Month at his elementary school? That’s right, our little mini-me. 
When I first heard the news, I was very proud and excited for the boy. Then I thought, wait, what if they just give this to the kids they think need that extra boost to make them do better in school, like as a psychological trick? Then I thought, nah, that can’t happen, but what if this marks him on the playground – ya know, as a smarty-pants braniac, etc… – all the bad names I was called when I was a kid, just for doing well in school.
I think he’s going to be fine in the long run, he will get to learn how to deal with any little brat who gives him grief over this, and I hope that will make him stronger in the end. And, if any of those kids make trouble for my boy, well, nyahhhhh-nyah on them.
