Yesterday we talked about goals for the year.
Maybe this should be the 'year of application'--where you really apply yourself and fill out college and scholarship applications.
Maybe this should be the 'year of the social experiment' where you get involved and attend school events. Eat a school lunch. (at this point the Goob had to go for a walk)
Finally settle on being more outgoing, making new friends, hanging out with different people.
This am before first day of senior year:
Me: You know your goal to hang out with different people? Just don't become an obnoxious jock.
Goob(with a slight grin): OK
Me: Or a drug head.
Goob(turning to actually look at me): OK
Me: And don't get involved with a girl who will distract you from your school work and ruin your chances of getting into college and having a productive life.
Goob: No response. ( because I didn't really say that out loud. )
Don't know who will be more uncomfortable if the Goob really becomes social this year, him or me.
Sent him out the door with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a prayer for a good year.
