I was on the phone with my eight-year-old nephew, Andy.

Andy:  “I told my teacher that all my family graduated from this school.”

Me:  “Except your grandma.”

Andy:  “And, and I told her that my grandpa graduated with top honors, and so did my uncle Carl.  And I told her that I was very proud.”

Me:  “Really.  Wow!  Thank you.”

Andy:  “Except my mummy.  She is the stupidest.  How embarrassing.”

I was controlling myself not to laugh…

Me:  “You told your teacher that?”

Andy:  “Of course!!!”
