Last Thursday I went with The Boy to sign him up for summer school. To retake some classes that he didn’t feel the need to succeed in the first time around.
The registration time was 5 to 8. We arrived at ten after 5. We waited for 2 hours. I have waited LESS time to ride The Gemini at Cedar Pointe.
When we first walked in, and strolled the mile or so to the end of the line, The Boy had a comment. Which he always has.
He said, “There’s a lot of failure in this hallway”.
So we waited, and talked, and he shared one of the earphones from his IPod and we watched Demetri Martin, who we both think is hilarious. He also gave me a mini lesson on the type of girls he likes. He did not care for the one about 4 people in front of us. She was too white, like a ghost, and too skinny, wore too much make-up and he said she looked like a shark. What exactly does that mean?
While I can’t say that the time passed quickly, or that I was happy about being there, I was glad we could talk and laugh. So I guess we made the best of the situation.

The ONLY reason I don’t have 2 boys in summer school is due to the move. We recieved mail from MI yesterday chock full of D’s
Thanks for making me feel somewhat better.

Evidently he just doesn’t like ghost white, really skinny, makeup covered, shark-like ones. I think the rest are all fair game!
