A Portrait of the Cocktailian as a Young Man
Absurd, but funny November 16th, 2007This, from my son’s homework he got back from school:
It was from a 3rd grade multiplication assignment he completed in-class (by ‘1’s no less – wheeeee!). Needless to say he must have been bored; his response to the ‘7 people waiting in a line. How many people in all?’ was to draw a line of people waiting on a port-a-potty with the people (along with SpongeBob) at various stages of bladder distress. As you can imagine, I’ve rarely been more proud of my son’s schoolwork.
The next parent-teacher conference should prove interesting indeed.
Multiplication by 1s?!? *sigh* Youth is wasted on the young…
I see a bottle of Gin; is this his MxMo entry?
Holy shit, this is wonderful. I knew he’d turn out well.
Hah! Good catch, if I’d seen it in time I totally could have used this for Jay’s MxMo. Perfect!
I just had to explain to him what ‘G’ rated meant. I told him it means Daddy hates it.
Hey Brian! Good to see you. Yeah, the nut doesn’t fall far from the nut-providing-type tree; he’s a keeper. Unfortunately I can totally see a meeting with the school counselor and a person there to, ya know, ‘observe’, in my future.
I can hardly wait to see how Eyan”s science lab turns out!
Brilliant! I am no longer worried about the youth of today.
He will grow into a fine adult, unlike the teacher who wrote the lame-ass note on his assignment.
I had an Shakespeare professor in college whose son, William (yes, really), would play in the bath with empty bottles and say to himself as he filled them—”red wine, white wine, champagne and beer”.
Man that kid was awesome.
Some people just won’t rest until the entire world’s just as boring as they are. Hats off to your kid!
