Little Zachary

by

Little Zachary was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything…tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers.

In short, everything they could think of to help his math.

Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t even kiss his mother hello.  Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.

Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner. 

To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.
 
This went on For some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.
 
Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an ‘A’ in math.
 
She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said, ‘Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?’ Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. ‘Well, then,’ she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?’ 

Little Zachary looked at her and said, ‘Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren’t fooling around..’

  2. As a former Catholic school student, I’d like to point out that this is bullshit. Total. Bullshit.

  6. No, but I just talked to KLAW, and he told me you guys were wondering what happened to me. And he demanded that i come back and say he “drug my ass in”. I’ve been sick, and busy with finals.

  7. He wants you all to know that he “chased my sweet ass back”. He also said something about “meating him”. Whatever that means…

  18. Nah, he’s not mad Kate. Actually he’s a lot more normal than some. He’s just been short circuited a few times. LOL

  19. I gotta admit tho, “all clothing will be on” is waaaaay over the line. Even for him. No excuse for that. Mine fell off at 9:30 ^ .

  26. I have to clear the record, Kate searched me out and found me. I didn’t even recognize her name. She then made a comment that was way over the top. Perhaps she will come bach and clear this up.dunno.

  27. DJ, if you are going to Baltimore for the second running of The Preakness, bet the house on the 3 horse.

  28. OK – #3 Secretariat. Got it. Who are they playing?
    (I searched for KLAW and ended up at a radio station in Oklahoma. Dunno.)

  29. I goofed…tried to bet the horse on the 3rd house. Hope we win. I’ll call you at halftime. From Ballimore.

  30. 3rd house is the # 7 horse, we still have a shot. It will be interesting watching those ponies stop at the toll booth.

  48. Kate – Sorry, actually still in Ohio…about 6-7 hour drive. But maybe someday…Inner Harbor…The Power Plant…
