Well I'm back and have to tell you about my trip to my daughter's high school and her grades.
I got to the high school and we waited a bit outside, then they opened the doors. Surprise, surprise, surprise! Every single door had like a small thump that the wheelchair couldn't go through, "baby didn't you see that?". She answered negatively, she said that we had only told her to check for an elevator inside. She did. So I had to contact somebody inside to see how I was going to go inside a school, through the garage!
Once the hurdle of entering the school was overcome I was waiting for her grades, when I saw them I didn't say anything; who am I to judge her when I wasn't the sharpest tool on the shed myself. I did ask her why she had problems in French and geography, so I decided to go and see the French teacher and the geography teacher, what the hell I might as well see the math teacher also.
Well they all concur the same thing, she is doing well but she doesn't participate in class. I heard the teachers and came to the conclusion that she is okay in my books. Not a brainiac but with a bit of effort she could probably reach university and become a poet or something. Yeah, I don't really care for school and I still made it far, I did go to university just to fall ill with MS. But my wife would like to see her become some one important in life, a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, somebody that wouldn't have to rely on another person to be independent.
I really don't care, for all I care she could become a burger specialist as long as she's the best burger specialist and she's happy.
Besides, kids will always surpass their parents at whatever they do. Look at me, my mother never went to university because in her days she was expected to be a home maker, she even took a class for it and she manage to ace it. When my turn came, I went further than her, mastered English and French, went to university, got a nice job and now I am forcefully retired.
I am almost certain, nay I am sure %101 that my pumpkin will be ok and if she happens to flip burgers I want some of those...
Love you baby...
