Dorks Unite!!!

I must admit our eleven year old daughter rocks!  Too bad her parents are DORKS! 

MJK's teacher calls earlier in the week to let us know MJK is receiving the Rotary Student of the Quarter award at the school-wide morning meeting on Friday.  This is a surprise to MJK.  So...her dad and I concoct a plan...

Today is THE day.  Dad drops her off in the circle at school and secretly parks by the dumpster.  I follow in my car at a safe distance and meet Dad at the appointed rendezvous spot.   We exit our vehicles and stroll into the gymnasium with smug smiles on our faces like proud Secret Service agents.  This would be the point when her teacher looks at us and says, "They already presented MJK with the award!" 

Thanks goodness the teacher and principal took pity on us and graciously re-enacted the presentation of MJK's special award.  While I am sure MJK was a bit mortified by the whole situation, I had to get the photo for the scrapbook.  Am I right?
