Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Darth Tigger is graduating? That's...unpossible! And yet EXCELLENT. Go Emmett!

Our wings are not tired.
No question that going through high school sucks more as a parent than as the student. I would go through it multiple times myself rather than try and drag the boys through it again.
Is he excited about college? What kind of a program is he entering? (forgive me if I should know this, mind like sieve you know)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Wow, I am really not ready for Emmett to be a college student!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Weren't you a college student yourself when we started all this, Jess, or just barely done?
Emmett is an awesome kid, big and brawny and goofy and broad-shouldered and willing to carry Matilda to bed each night and help her pick out the right dress to wear to his graduation ceremony (it's covered with hot air balloons). I am so ridiculously lucky and blessed to be a part of his life.

Because books.
That's awesome. Congratulations to Emmett, and to his family.
Good news on the interview, ita.
