I must admit, I was a bit shocked at her business-like and mature conduct at the induction ceremony.
Being an officer of the local chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, (Treasurer) she introduced us to the chapter President, Vice-President and Secretary. She was polite and very well-spoken.
As all of this was going on, I couldn't help but remember one of the last things she had said to me just the night before...
"Keep your dick-beaters out of my Granola bars or I'll kill you in your sleep motherfucker."
*sniff* I'm so proud of her.
----------------------------
The guest speaker at the event was appalling. Some school administrator who's name I didn't bother to catch.
As she droned out the usual platitudes, I worked diligently at figuring out how I could slip in a nap without anyone noticing. Mrs B was completely absorbed in the speech, and watching her daughter sitting up on one side of the stage, so I leaned back gently in my chair and closed my eyes...until I heard this gem.
"You cannot gain wealth without taking on the responsibility to see that wealth is redistributed properly for the good of all."
MSgt B - Did she just say "Redistribute your wealth"?
Mrs B - Shut up.
MSgt B - Seriously. I think she just said rich people need to redistribute their wealth.
Mrs B - And I said Shut Up.
MSgt B - Fucking Commies...
Mrs B - [Delivers a sharp elbow to the ribs, followed by "The Look"]
MSgt B - Mumble grumble mumble mumble
Before I leave this morning, I plan on "redistributing" some fucking Granola bars.
It's an important life-lesson for my daughter to learn, especially if people like that are going to be in charge of her edukayshun.

And there's a damn good reason why we're planning to home school illustrated really well, right there.
But then again, my imp's favorite story is *The Little Red Hen.*
Jesus M-F'ing CHRIST. Seriously? I'm so glad my kids are in college. Oh, wait...it's a thousand times WORSE in college! *sigh*
Ye gods and little fishes...
So, tell her that since y'all have so much that you are going to share her college money with some less fortunate person and that daughter will have to work for her share.
Phi Theta Kappa!
Good for her! I'm in the chapter at J. Sargeant Reynolds. Good vid.
We have to have another blogger shoot.
