The Mission Grade
Thursday, March 20, 2008 at 10:41AM “Dad. We got our grades on Mission projects today!”
“Sweet! How did I, I mean we, I mean you. How did you do?” All this time my wife was somewhere between laughing at me and hucking a remote control at my head.
“Well, it said ‘great job!’ on the sheet and we got an A+!!! 100 points and I got some extra credit too because we took pictures of our visit to the mission!”
She was so proud and I was very proud of her. The coolest part of the whole process was the way all 4 of us pitched in to get it done. It became a fun family project and for Gillian to acknowledge that “we got an A+” was very sweet. She high-fived her brother and hugged both me and mom thanking us for our help.
“Thank you honey for letting me help. I had a blast and we kicked butt!” I said through a lump in my throat.
“That’s what the Simmons family does. We kick butt!” She said jokingly. Or half jokingly.
Oh yeah, this kid is definitely mine!
