a couple of weeks ago, i had the opportunity to see shaggy "graduate" from pre-k. now, this is his first year of pre-k so he didn't actually "graduate". he got a certificate.
i don't remember having a kindergarten graduation, much less a ceremony for a pre-k certificate! maybe i did. who knows. the thing is, i think all these idiotic graduations are just a waste of parents' money and time! why the hell do you need a graduation for 5th grade and graduation for 8th grade AND your senior graduation? as far as i'm concerned, there should be two. TWO graduations. one for kindergarten and one for senior year. if you don't make it to your senior graduation, at least you had one in kindergarten. that's it. no more.
enough of my rant. i also have one about junior/senior prom, but i'm saving that for later.
so, S2 was really looking forward to buying him a little shirt and tie for his ceremony. wouldn't that have looked cute? but no... the school he goes to does themes every year. this year's theme was the Wizard of Oz. yes... the gayest theme you can dream up for any ceremony, ever, in which they all had to wear gay rainbow t-shirts that they will never wear again (except for the girls maybe) because S2 is not about to put my shaggy in that shirt again.
back to the ceremony. he was so cute. and so proud. he shook hands with the principal when he received his certificate and he kept his cool during the musical numbers they performed. i have video of it but some big head girl was right in front of him. it didn't come out so good.
given my disagreeance (is that a word?) for these ceremonies, i will be going to more. i will be there for his pre-k graduation and again for his kindergarten graduation. i have to draw the line at 5th and 8th but i will be there for his high school graduation. hopefully, his college one as well.
