Apparently, all boys think the sound of a laser is cool. I took a long lunch break and went to Dude’s school for his continent feast. All the kids get to present their reports to the other kids and their parents, and then we get to eat the yummy food that each parent has prepared from their child’s country of choice.
Dude was so antsy waiting for his turn to present his report - he did, afterall, spend 4 hours creating the 12-slide PowerPoint presentation for it! After listening to the three written reports, he finally got to present his report. He did a great job, and I had to chuckle to myself when, after his first slide transition with the laser sound effect, the entire class went “oooooh, that’s COOL!” Dude just BEAMED! And really, wouldn’t you feel pretty good if the older kids in class were so impressed by something you’d done?
After all the presentations, 2 boys came up to Dude and said “Can your mom show me how to do that for our Australia report?” Without hesitation, Dude said “Na - but I can since I know all about making cool things in PowerPoint.” HA! The little turd . . . . at least he’s confident 
Nice. I really like this site and enjoy reading the posts. You should be proud that your son is so confident in himself.
How quickly they turn on us and betray us.
