He has got almost all of them, and has turned his grades around a lot this year!! Second quarter no C's, all A's and B's, has to keep grades up to do all those sports he likes to do so much!!

 

I did mention to him that it would cause his new family members to lose face if he did not "Ace" this test!! B)

[jim_julian]

Gee I would think the river list has got to include the Chang Jiang; it's the longest river in China.

Mark,

 

NO WAY!

 

You wouldn't do this to your son, with a new Chinese family on the way to the West....... or would you!?!

 

Just advise your wrestling son that his "Sycamore, Illinois" wrestling techniques won¡¯t stand a chance against a Chinese woman and her own 5,000-year-old ¡°death grip¡± of Chinese women wanting their children to be educated!

 

Most especially, since the woman¡­..can cut him off from her kitchen stove too!

 

Ahhhh, well! Back to the books!

 

Seriously, congratulations on his grades!
