So yesterday I had a meeting with school, to go over my son’s progress. I came out beaming because his teachers were all raving about him, saying how creative and smart and wonderful he is. In some of the school tests, he scored in the “very superior” range. Except for math, ’cause he’s like his parents like that. I feel better knowing it’s not just me and my biased opinion. Here’s a few examples:
School Guy: He said he liked ghosts and science fiction, and that he wished ghosts were real and walked among us. I asked him who he’d like to meet, if he could meet a ghost, and he said “Rod Serling.”
School Gal: We’re doing a non-fiction project, and he chose to write about dark matter.
((n) dark matter ((cosmology): a hypothetical form of matter that is believed to make up 90 percent of the universe; it is invisible (does not absorb or emit light) and does not collide with atomic particles but exerts gravitational force).
So, yeah, he’s hella smart. And a really talented artist (I’ll upload some artwork one of these days)–if he can’t be a cartoonist, he says, he wants to be a marine biologist.
Megan, Beaming.

Gush away! It’s great that he takes after his parents.
Kwana, I wish I were as smart as this guy. Of course, I can get myself dressed in less than 15 minutes, so I have that going for me.
Yay!! I’m with Kwana – gush away – it’s good to hear stories of kids doing really well in school also!
