I have to say, SuperMom, my condolences for your "spirited" young D. No fun to have one that flauts convention.
But, that aside, you are one of the funniest posters on this site

. There was a poster, several years back, named sluggbugg. She is Caucasian and lives in Santa Cruz, so I get she's not you, but, some similarities, well, I guess, welcome. An irreverent tone is almost never out of place.
Kind of like the way my mom feels about good shoes.
Oh, and Princeton doesn't look at the freshman year grades.
