He's graduating?

Yes he is. My oldest son Tommy is graduating from 8th grade tonight.

I asked him if he wanted a party and he said no. I asked him if he wanted to go out for a celebratory dinner afterward and he said no. I asked him how he wanted to celebrate, and he said: "Let's get some ice cream."

He's growing up, but he's a guy. He'll never actually grow up. That's comforting, somehow.
