Conversation with Cole
THANE: Look at that SUV, at that bumper sticker. "My child was student of the month at Cumberland Day school." It's got three stickers on it!
COLE (age 9): Why so many?
THANE: I don't know. Just so you know, if you ever win a "Student of the month" award, or are named to the honor list 4 times, I'm not putting a bumper sticker on my car.
COLE: Why not?
THANE: It's annoying to read those stickers. I don't know. OK, I'll put the bumper sticker in my office, if you get one. I'm all in favor of being the "student of the month," OK? I just don't want to put the sticker on my car. It's kind of rude, like you're bragging. [Now in a high-pitched, whining tone] "WELL, *MY* kid was the STUDENT OF THE MONTH! HA! HA! HA!"
COLE: OK.
