The Non-Misadventures of Wee Hob

Long time readers of this journal know that Wee Hob is a source of considerable distress to his poor mother at times. But not today. I just came back from parent teacher conferences. His grades:



Early US History - 92 - B+
Reading 8 - 88 - B
Writing 8 - 85 - B
Intro Chemistry - 91 - B
Math 8 Basic - 88 - B
Art - 85 - B

Friends, this is Huge. Straight B's I have never seen from him. Ever.

He's also doing better socially, hanging with good kids (even has a girl friend, or so his Assistant Principal thinks), not letting the bullies wind him up so much. He's matured a lot, and seems happier and calmer. I asked him just now if it might have something to do with this new life we're starting to work towards here, my Beloved and I and Wee Hob. He says no. I then asked if it might have anything to do with said girlfriend and he replied, "I will not answer on the on grounds that it might incriminate me."

Strangely, at the moment, I can't bring myself to be distressed about this.

And my Beloved will be here tomorrow night, about an hour from now.
