Well, if you compare it to a normal week, he did excel. Maybe he should get it.

My first job, a weird student came up from the middle school. The band director there said the office staff were glad to see her gone - she was the youngest kid in her family and "now we can clear out a filing cabinet" worth of discipline records.

Her father threatened to punch another dad at a band booster meeting in front of several witnesses. Said dad was a highly respected judge. On the one hand, yay, nobody should be punched. But a little part of me wished he had, just for the spectacle.
