Poor Amy is stressed out because she's going to get two Bs her first term at college and only start off with a 3.3 average, even though she's taking a Biology class that is not recommended for first year students and is a weed-out class, Chemistry, Pre-Calculus (another weed out class) and Comparative Politics. That girl has some high standards.
She's called me twice in the last two weeks just to tell me about something funny that she heard. That just makes my day. Once was something funny her Biology teacher said about fermentation. He said he has a friend who won't drink wine because he does not want to drink the byproduct of microbes that die in their own excrement. Not sounding too yummy now. The other thing she called to tell me about was a funny sketch on the Daily Show after the election about the f-ed up exit polling. Bee, one of the Daily Show correspondents, goes around asking people all sorts of random questions. One of the best is when she encounters a lady coming out of a salon and she asks her what she had done in there. The woman replied that she had a haircut and Bee points to the woman's head and asks, "Does the carpet (wink, wink) match the drapes?"
Go here-- The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and click on the "Exit Polls" link. Its way funny.
Its nice to be friends with your kid if you can do it while still being a parent.
