Yesterday Pher received a big white envelope from Beloit College. He was already at Zeke's for a jam session, so I called him to interrupt. Well, you know, that's what any good mom does is interrupt her kid's jam session time! Also, isn't that why we got him a cell phone?
Me: Pher, you got a huge envelope from Beloit in the mail today.
Pher: OK
Me: Can I open it?
Pher: I guess.
Me (opening the envelope): There's a folder in here... There's a "Congratulations, you've been provided a spot in the class of 2014 at Beloit College" acceptance letter in the folder!!!
Pher: I kinda figured that's what it was.
Me: Aren't you excited???!!!
Pher: I guess
Me: Can't you show me some excitement then!
Pher: Neat-o, yippee (in a monotone voice)
Frustration.
Today I received a Facebook note from Zeke's mom.
"I congratulated Chris on his acceptance to Beloit and he told me he was probably going to go to college now because he really liked Beloit."
Relief!
