I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

well I'm in a pickle now

My daughter is being considered for a scholarship to Cincinnati Country Day. They will give her up to $15K a year, however Country Day is $22,400 for a freshmen and goes up each successive year.

I've just about decided I'm going to do whatever I have to if she lands it but its going to have to be close to the max amount.

Thank god the boy is dumb as a box of rocks.

I won't even say what I'm paying for my 3 years old to paste googly eyeballs on construction paper and bring me home shitty drawings that she wants me to take to work.

However, she does tell me constantly that she wants to be me when she grows up. That's either a great thing showing how she will approach life and work...or she is going to love the shit outta some pussy.

Or else it's your wife whispering in your daughter's ear when she puts her to bed at night, "Honey, if you want to keep going to that school of yours, you better keep telling daddy how much you want to grow up to be just like him"...

I told my daughter last night that I would do whatever I could to get her in that school, but I also told her right now she is a big fish in a small pond. You'll go from being Lisa Simpson to Bart Simpson overnight.

I think she is excited by the idea of hanging out with people well beyond her parent's tax bracket.


This has motivated my wife however to get a real job to cover the costs so that is something I've been trying to do for the last 3 years.

Those schools always need a few members of the lower classes to round out the quota. Helps them to teach the more elite students to be kind to their inferiors...

Do what you can to get your daughter into that school. The guanxi is worth the price. She'll do fine in life without being there but she'll move to the right on the curve if she goes. Make it happen, if you can.

my in-laws taught in inner city New Orleans schools for 40 years plus. Low pay, poor school buildings, etc. They really scraped the money together to send their two daughters to private catholic schools in New Orleans. I can't say that my wife wouldn't have succeeded without that step, but it did help. She was salutatorian of her school (Lisa Perez Jackson, the former head of the EPA was valedictorian -she was also in our wedding) and when on to get a B.S. from Rice, Masters from Stanford and Ph.D from Cornell. I do think she would have made it anyway, she has that drive, but the school made it easier.

Yeah, the sweat equity alone can get you many places, and maybe the same places you'd get to regardless of where you were schooled, or lived, or whatever. However, you have to get as much wind to your back as possible and those decisions your in-laws made were wise decisions (granted when you say "their two daughters" it means that they only had two daughters and didn't kill a third kid because the tuition fees for the "good" daughters meant less oatmeal for everyone...so, that slower child wound up ultimately being tracked down by Rust Cohle).
