Class of 2007 (sort of)

Tonight was My Kid's eighth grade graduation. I realize that not every school has an 8th grade graduation, but My Kid's school is K-8 and I guess the administration gets kind of attached to the kids after 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 21 weeks a year, for 9 years. So they have a graduation ceremony. And it was quite nice actually. I only cried once.

But that song. It gets me every time. I can't believe I'm officially the mother of a High School Freshman. With a girlfriend.

Isn't she cute? They've been "going out" since, like December, I think. I like her very much. Unlike his sixth grade girlfriend, who did not graduate tonight, as she was found with cigarettes at school yesterday and expelled. No, I did not care for that girl one little bit. My Kid has a nice group of friends now though.

They're all heading off to the same high school together, too. So that's good. I felt sorry for that one girl on the end, though.

Since she obviously didn't have time to go home and change out of her ice skating dress before the graduation started.

THANK YOU! I did not look like that when I graduated HIGH SCHOOL.

I think it's from all the hormones in meat and milk these days. I really do.

She is a keeper. Your son is so grown up. I hope I look as good at my kids 8th grade gradulation. The only problem is I'll be like 150 years old and some sort of Zombie/Borg.


You are doing great. The kid is lucky to have a mom like you.

Wow. I really hope that eighth grader never reads your very kind statement about her dress. I'm sure she felt beautiful. Far be it from you to just let her. . .
