Nebraska High School
My mother had gotten into an argument with one of my many distant aunts over something very simple, and yet very important. Apparently, one of my cousins from outside the state told his mother that he wants to go to a Nebraska high school because he thinks that the schools in their state suck. He also apparently mentioned me and Wesley, saying that we each went to a Nebraska high school, and we were both the smartest people he knows right next to his own dad (who was also from a Nebraska high school, I must mention). The idea of having to move to Nebraska just because her kid wants to go to a Nebraska high school really annoyed that particular Aunt of mine, and she called Mom up to make sure that neither Wesley or myself would ever come into contact with her son anymore. Evidently, she thought we put the idea of going to a Nebraska high school into Kyle’s head when we didn’t, and naturally my mother was insulted at the suggestion that we did it on purpose.
I can see nothing wrong with wanting to go to a Nebraska high school, but I also understand why my aunt freaked out (causing my already-stressed mother to freak out herself) over her kid wanting to move halfway across America just to go to one. I got them both to calm down, got Kyle on the phone, and got him to change his mind. Problem solved.
