Jack complained all the way to the Geography Bee that he didn't want to go, because he might miss the "Office".
"But Jack, it's a repeat."
"Mom, a rerun of the Office is better than a stupid Geography Bee."
Okay then. So, his heart wasn't in it, but he was the only kid that answered every question correctly in the first 7 rounds. In the end, he got beaten by an adorable, super excited red-headed eighth grade boy. When I complimented him on not missing any questions, he claimed that was "only because he got lucky and got easy questions, now can we go so I don't miss my show? And I'm never doing that again, either. It was completely boring." I tried to follow the questions, but it turns out I am actually REALLY dumb at geography. Who knew?

Holy crapity crapsticks....we love your blog!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour son wanted to see The Office more than the Geography Bee so your family doesn't really qualify for geekdom. I had to laugh about your daughter calling her swim teacher a "big shit". If he's anything like some of the ones my son has had he most likely completely deserved it! Holy crap I'm glad my kid isn't the only one who would say something like that. Oh well the apple don't fall too far from the tree.... Cheers! Donna
