well, today is B.U.G. day around here.... thats Bring UP Grades award day at school and my lovely son gets his award today as being the only straight A student in the class

i wanted to find someway to show my appreciation.. you know, something cute so, im thinking a giant gummy bug of some kind ??? or maybe some gummy worms ??? what do you think ??? yesterday, he got a new playstation 2 game from me.. so, i dont owe out anything huge now, hes happy as can be, but, i want to do something nice for him there, any ideas ???


oh, and exactly how loud is TO loud to cheer when they call your kids name ????


HAPPY BUG DAY EVERYONE !

if he likes those gummy things, that would be alright I suppose..

but would he like an ICE CREAM CAKE of some type??
maybe something from Ben & Jerry's, or Baskin Robbins
in the shape of a "bug" or in the shape of the "letter A"
for all those A's he gets???


whatever you end up doing for him, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.



how loud is "too loud"??
DIFFICULT to say, but if head of the person sitting next to bumps into the head of the person sitting next to them because your scream caused the 1st person to lean over so much that they hit the head of the person next to them..
THAT might be.. "too loud"..

still.. you clearly have (earned) the right to make some noise for your kid, for his continued excellence in school.

awwwww, thanks sugar

yeah, i dont wanna embarrass the poor child so, i will behave at least i will TRY to

i dont have time to order that kinda cake, although, what a great idea

i shoulda asked you about this before..

like i said, i did something for him at gradecard time, then i bought that game yesterday, so we're all good... i just want some sort of small thing to say 'im here with ya baby, and im proud of ya' that type thing..

but, again, thank you for all the kind things you've said ... its so nice to know that my 'work' here is looked at as being a good thing

have a great day sweets

I was in highschool (comprehensive in the UK). It's a great way to get on in life, getting good grades that is, but does little to educate people. The system is rubbish. As I got to sixth form at the age of 17 there was no change. In university there was no change either. I guess I got bored with it all. There's a certain intelligence involved in knowing how it all works and reproducing other peoples' theories, preferably coupled with good writing skills (which is more important than actual ability at a subject), but I found it all such a let down. Anyways, I think I've digressed.

Most importantly, well done to your son. I think the idea of something to do with the letter 'A' would be brilliant.

And yes, that your greatest work in life (your child) is doing well, means you are too.

Foster the spontaneous creativity in him and you'll have a remarkable young man on your hands in a few years time.

remarkable young man... that has such a great sound to it

thanks sweetie

im just so proud of him !!!

Here's what you do, make him a bug filled (a clay planter) pot of dirt! It is actually chocolate Jello pudding covered in Oreo cookie crumbs with gummy worms crawling out! It looks like hell but tastes good! We normally make it on Halloween for the kids but this seems appropriate with the bug thing and all. I am going to see if I can find a pic for you!
