Celebrating!


For all you parents that pay your kids for their grades...you really make it hard on us parents that don't. Alec approached us almost 2 years ago and asked if he could get paid $20 for an A, and $10 for a B. Uh...no! "The reward for all the hard work is the A, Alec" we said to our poor 12 year old boy. "But, straight As does merits celebrating." That's when the steak dinner to Sizzler (he's a sucker for any place with all you can eat anything) came into our lives. After 3 semesters of almost making the grade...Alec finally brought home a perfect 4.0 report card. The 3 other semesters he missed by having only 1 B+...that was tough. But, a deal is a deal. Last night we went to Sizzler to "celebrate". Alec got the 18 oz Porterhouse Steak with all you can eat salad bar (nachos and ice cream) and was in complete heaven.
