Summer before 9th grade. What's your child's plan?

I didn’t realize the 70s were over until we hit the BS world. ChoatieKid lounged away his entire life until he left for CT. Except for Boy Scout activities, he pretty much played video games, slept, and prowled around the Internet unsupervised. At least that’s what I THINK he did all day. Summer camps, family vacations, summer school, beach houses, ski trips, test prep? No, it was still 1972 in our house–if you’re bored, find something to do or I’ll make you clean your room, just make sure you come when I call for dinner. The summer before Choate was identical; he slept, played video games, and tortured his cat until it was time to board the plane.

How the heck did he get into BS?
