AAAhhh.....the joys of summer.........the pleasures of it..........summer is a time for all things happy and carefree.........the beach .......there is lounging by the pool........
.................oh and those warm breezy evenings of baseball games....there are gatherings with friends...
BBQ's.....
nothing like sticky ribs right off the grill...........summer reading.....suntans.....flipflops.....the smell of cotton candy....salt water........summer romances.......vacations...........it is all good..........oh but wait.........for one young man, namely my son Adam.........THERE IS GOING TO BE THE DREADED SUMMER SCHOOL.....my son who is extremely intelligent....handsome....great personality.....polite, articulate and looks like he should be in a national ad for Abercrombie and Fitch....he will be going to summer school for the entire month of July..........why you ask??..........BECAUSE HE FAILED FREAKING HEALTH......YES HEALTH...THE SIX WEEK COURSE THAT EVEN AN IDIOT COULD PASS..........a ONE CREDIT CLASS................He has to take it to graduate next year and failed because he was to busy texting, facebooking and such and didn't hand it a couple of assignments that counted heavily toward his grade......he attended summer school two years ago for the same issues and it was not pretty.....now here is where the story gets good..........
Yours truly had to go sign him up today, while he is on a whirlwind tour of Vienna, Austria with his high school symphony..........
Now mind you ....like he is...there are nice, normal kids that go to summer school but the majority are way to tatooed (I witnessed this first hand when I had to drive and pick him up 2 years ago)...........most are sitting around smoking
................and several were pregnant
young ladies..............kids with one to many piercings...
and let's throw in some wild hair do's for good measure
So these things my friends..........are what my son has to look forward to in the coming warm weather weeks......
Now to ad insult to injury........they school would not take.......cash.........check.....debit or credit cards......I had to run around like a nut trying to find a place that would give me a money order!!!! I ended up getting one at a dirty, sleezy mini mart type store........talk about white trash...................aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
