<p>I do have to confess that I’ve been trying out various stories with the folks who ask mr how Son likes his school…you know, the issue of what to tell acquaintances who will see him around next year, but don’t deserve the whole story. Right now I’m liking “the merit aid is only for four years and he thinks it will take at least 5 to graduate, so he’s going to go to CC to get in some of his gen ed requirements…”</p>
