Thanks Krista. It would be counter productive to say ANY thing to Mike.
He swears that he knows it all and that us telling him anything is a
waste of time for him. Sigh. Someday he may figure out that he could
have learned from our mistakes.

Pam S. who hopes Krista's Mike isn't like that

Sounds a whole lot like my youngest brother, oddly enough named Mike.
Dropped out of high school to "experience life". Once got arrested for
breaking into a boxcar sitting on a railway siding and stealing a case
of toilet paper. Worked in the oil fields, went to Hawaii and Alaska,
before finally settling down. Got his GED, worked his way up through
the corporate ladder, and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't earn
more bonuses a year than I do working. And, unfortunately for his
daughters, he knows all the dodges kids use and is the strictest
parent of my siblings.

Mike's tearing up the medical training program at Kitterel. They're
talking about trying to get him into college and medical school. He's
almost a month ahead of the rest of the kids there.

We always knew he was smart. Now he's proving to us that he's not lazy.
Though he says we "stuck" him in there and that he hates it.

Pam S. who can't win with Mike

That's great! Going to medical school would be like going from 0 to
100 in 5 seconds though. Those guys work something like 100 hours a
week!

Good for him! If he'll stick with it in spite of hating it, he could
have it made. Though maybe it'd be counter-productive to tell him so?

Take heart, Pam. The older Mike gets the smarter his parents will
get.

Congratulations on your Mike, Pam. And here's hoping Krista's continues to
improve.

Wow, that's great news, Pam. I'm so happy for you and Mike.

A big Aussie "Goodonyamate" to Mike for putting in such a great effort. We
all knew he could do it, but I bet he's surprising himself the most.
