| ^ Boy does that sound like our story, too, PackMom... So permit me to continue.
To everyone who asks me excitedly whether S#2 is following his brother to MIT in the fall, and then stumbles and tries to figure out what to say when I mention S#2's plans to attend a small regional school you never heard of on the opposite coast of the US: take a chill pill and learn to smile. We'd appreciate your congratulations, thanks, and maybe a polite question or two. We aren't looking for sympathy or "there, there", as if somehow this is a consolation prize for him. He's really, really excited about his plans, he'll be near his favorite uncle and NYC and friends from CTY, his program is great and he's had the red carpet rolled out for him at his school in half a dozen ways, and we're happy for him. It would be especially nice if you could be, too.
And stop saying the name of the school wrong! |
