Is an A an A?

An article in the newspaper said significantly more kids are getting A’s in school than in the past. The Article also goes on to say that A’s are loosing value and an A student today is not expected to perform to the same levels as an A student 20 years ago.  You know that means if I was born 20 years later I could have been an honor roll student and wouldn’t have gotten as many beatings as I used to… but than I’d probably be cocky as well as dumb. I think I am ok with just being dumb.

A Mothers Love

Mom: So how is the job hunt going?
Eric: Not so good. I just finished a temp assignment but they didn't need me full time.
Mom: It would have been great if they hired you full time.
Eric: Yeah but I try not to make wishes. I mean that would be like wishing I never got laid off in the first place, or wishing they hired me back after a few months. Why stop there I could wish to win the lottery or that some body reads my strip and wants to option a movie deal or a cartoon based on it. Better yet how about I wish I meet a beautiful rich girl who falls in love with me and makes me her boy toy.
Mom: That one will never happen.
Eric: Wow... So that's the the line? You think I have a better chance at the lottery than a chick with money falling for me? Thanks mom and you wonder why "Throw Momma from the Train" is one of my favorite movies.
