[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 414402, member: 6546"] TM, HaoZi-- Ah yes - there's the smiley I was looking for! Exactly! JJJ-- Yes, they probably CAN go to the same school...be roommates even. There MUST be "castle housing" on campus for their star students, they can share a suite! Exhausted-- Shaken Teen Syndrome, eh? If I get caught, do you think I'd lose custody? Wouldn't want to risk [I]that[/I]... Cubsgirl-- I agree! too funny! Step-- O yes, difficult child is doing Career Center next year, too....that is, as soon as she gets around to filling out the application. It shouldn't matter that they passed them out months ago (and I'm sure she's missed the application deadline by now), and that difficult child's grades don't meet the minimum requirements, she is going to write the BEST essay EVER - and will get in with no problem. You know, whenever she has time to write it... Star-- Reality will just spoil all of difficult child's wonderful, wonderful plans! See, she doesn't want to hear the facts about anything. She just wants an easy answer to explain why she will or will not do something. "Trying to get a summer job" is a great thing to tell adults in order to sound responsible.
