in the car, on the way home from school

The players: BB, Middle, Youngest (as if you couldn't have figured it out)

BB: Hey honey, how was school today?

Youngest: Not so great, I have a vocab project, an ELA project and a science project all due this week.

BB: Uh, sounds like you are a little overworked. Give yourself a break...

Y: Well, I did get back my social studies test and I got a 93...

BB: (glancing in an almost sinister way at Middle who is not the most motivated student) what's up at your school today? anyone get arrested? (there have been a string)

Middle: Actually, I got a global test back and I got a 94 on it.

BB: (impressed and shocked) Wow, that's pretty damn good.

Y: Oh! and I also got a 98 on my math quiz today!

BB: (looks to her right again) Your turn.

M: I got some good grade on a science thing...I can't remember...

BB: Above a C? Not bad.

Y: I got picked to do a speech in Italian class!

M: Oh! I almost forgot! I scored a touchdown in gym!

BB: (must maintain focus on driving, but is clearly stunned as Middle is a 102 pound weakling)

M: I know, hard to believe, but I told the guys that I would fake right and move left and cut behind and that they should pass me the ball and it worked!

BB: Did you do a little dance?

M: I got to throw the ball down real hard...

Y: I SAVED TWO ORPHANS FROM A BURNING BUILDING, in third period.

M: (mournfully lowers his forehead onto the dashboard) You win.
