The kids brought home report cards today (mostly As!). Quinn received "satisfactory" marks for all behavior standards with the exception of "Speaks at appropriate times," for which he received "N" for "needs improvement."
In jest, I said, "Son, you need to open up some more and participate in classroom discussions even when the teacher does not explicitly call upon you. Don't be shy about sharing your opinion with others."
Not detecting the satire, Quinn looked at me with all seriousness and replied, "I know it, Mom. I'll try to do better."
(Speech-language therapy was one of the better investments we ever made in that boy.)
