Reluctant Carnival Participant

For some time there has been this thing floating around called the Carnival of the Elitist Bastards. Since the founder is an angry fountain of liberal rage I can’t say I was ever that motivated to participate, despite the fact that two of my favorite fellow bloggers have. I like the premise though, which is that sometimes it’s okay to be an elitist.

This month though I couldn’t resist a submission because the Carnival is being hosted by the lovely and talented NP of The Coffee Stained Writer. I felt it was my duty to ignore my misgivings about said fountain of rage and support NP’s efforts since I think she’s one of those people my grandmother would say, “Has a good heart” and I think she’s just great.

My entry was a piece written a few months ago, sparked by my daughter’s graduation from middle school and the excellence I saw in her and her classmates’ achievements. I hope everyone will take the time to check it out and also follow the links back to NP’s site and beyond.
