THE OFFICIAL 2+2 CHILD ACCOLADES THREAD

[CollegePlayer]

After reading the thread in "Books/Software" about Lee Jones, I decided to create this thread so the local 2+2 tribe could list their child accolades.

I'll go first:

In first grade, during our recital of "The Twelve Days of Christmas", I was the partridge in the pear tree.

As that is the one that gets mentioned the most, I was the star of the show.

i kindergarten i cam home from school. unlocked the door. locked it behind me. made myself a bowl of cereal and watched tv till my grandmother got home from work at 6:30 or 7 pm. i was not to answer the door or phone unless the phone rang once then started ringing again.

one day i came home and heard a strange noise. i cracked the bathroom door and saw lots of smoke. i dropped everything and ran 5 blocks to the store. i told them my house was on fire. they called 911. when we got back to my house my grandmother and grandfather were ther with the fire dept. turns out i was just a busted pipe under the bathroom sink blowing hot water and the fire dept fixed it.

everyone had big smiles on there faces and told me i did real good. they even gave me a medal.

I guess I was the big fish in a small pond. Of course you know what happens when you take that fish outta that pond! He shrivels up on the shore, goes out with a psycho who tries to run him over with his own car and finally disappears off of the radar! Good times

Who cares. Everyone won too many awards to remember when they were a kid because that is what you do for kids: give them lots of awards to encourage their progress.

Dude, how do you get "secretary" wrong? I was school spelling bee champ 3 years running in 5th, 6th, and 7th grade, the last of which I was also district champ, eventually getting knocked out in regionals on the word "liaison." I won a t-shirt and a thesaurus, yippee.

Ever watch the Spelling Bee Finals on ESPN? Now there's high drama; a kid fainted on stage this year.
