You had to mention that "C" word. You all with the little ones and here I am, ready to send Shortman (who, did I mention, is at least 6'2") off to his Junior year.

From the teachers who don't understand. From themselves. But. They will always, always love you. Sigh. You had to mention that “C” word.
