OT - The Rivalry affects us all

Submitted by Drbogue on

I thought this might make a few people smile on an otherwise uneventful Friday:

My son is in 3rd grade and today he had a vocabulary test. I was going over his answers and he got only 1 multiple choice question wrong. I reread the question a few times, and quite frankly... I agree with him. Here's the email I wrote his teacher with a picture of the question (names have been changed to protect the innocent/guilty):

Good evening Ms. <blank>. I was going through Parker's homework and a question he got wrong on his vocab test made me smile. Before you look at the photo below of the question, I wanted to explain what I'm sure Parker was thinking because I believe it'll make you laugh too and perhaps you'll agree with his answer: 

Parker is a HUGE Michigan football fan. So much so that he remembers the Bible verse numbers by associating them with the football player jersey numbers (i.e. 5:16 would be Jabrill Peppers:Denard Robinson). A few weeks ago, Michigan played their biggest rival Ohio State and lost the game in double overtime. He took the loss pretty hard. (in fact we all took it pretty hard!) So when I read his answer to this question, I totally agreed with him! Anyway, I thought this might give you a laugh and perhaps sway your grade. Have a wonderful weekend!

Merry Christmas,
<Drbogue>

The rivalry is strong with this one...

My 7 year old went to the principals office and told on a kid for saying a bad word, upon investigation the bad word or rather term the kid used was "Go OSU". Luckily they found it as funny as I did.

Lol .... Similarly, my then 3rd grader, snowboarding son was marked wrong when he spelled the word: boarder rather than border. Only word he missed and I told him without a definition or context, that he was correct.

Parker is obviously way more advanced than the average 3rd grader. The spot of the ball was THE catastrophe.

Is this Wordly Wise?  I remember having to do that back in Elementary School and it was the absolute worst.  The questions were all vague and the strucutre of the book was so boring.  We all hated it.

I will probably never get over that game. We won. By what should have been a fair margin.

Thieving ass refs. I usually don't bitch about refs either, but fuck those guys.

If the schools were remotely liberal we wouldn't be a dumbed down and ignorant enough country to be caught choosing between Drumph & Hillary.

So dumbed down that as corporations and their right wing puppet governors and state lawmakers mold schools more and more and more into their desired mis-shapes, eliminating  or shrinking civics, critical thinking, humanities, & the arts, Whitewashing history, putting in religion, etc. etc., you still fall for whatever garbage they inject into your heads and blame what is far too far to the right for being too far to the left. Incredible.

That is a great story.  I also remember pin numbers, lock combinations, etc using player jersey numbers.  The recent pin I received for a prepaid debit card was 7823 - for me it becomes Doug English/Jaime Morris.  For the younger crowd, Doug English was a pretty good OL for the Det Lions way back in my childhood.
