This was graduation weekend in my neck of the woods and we had the pleasure of seeing our oldest nephew graduate. But before the momentous occasion occurred, I was witness to this conversation between my sister-in-law and her son who is 8.
SIL – We are so proud of your big brother for finishing school and graduating this weekend.
8 yr old nephew – So what’s the big deal about all this?
SIL – Well, it show’s that he’s completed his schooling.
8 – But, what does he get for it?
SIL - He gets to be honored for his accomplishments and has earned his right to wear this…… (She disappears into the bedroom and comes out holding the graduation gown with pride.)
8 – What?!? He says in shock and horror. HE GETS A DRESS FOR FINISHING SCHOOL?????
You know, he’s got a point!
