How he did it makes it all the more fun. He was entered as a last-minute substitute for Strasburg High School's Co-Ed Varsity Forensic Team when two classmates couldn't participate in the district competition held at Madison County High School.
Heir II has always had nothing but disdain for any academic achievement. Just because he will graduate in June as the top male student in his class and among the top six or seven overall. He excels in math, takes AP classes and has maintained straight A's throughout most of his high school career but try and get him to go out for the Academic Team or be a member of the One-Act Play or, the Forensic team and the Heir would run the other way.
That was our surprise when he called at 1:30 pm this afternoon seeking permission to "go to Madison for a forensic outing."
I thought he meant he was going to James Madison University with his girlfriend Caisee and her Advanced Biology classmates to view a cadaver. We were the surprised ones when he got home tonight and proudly displayed his silver medal.
"I got second place for Impromptu Speaking," Heir said. "How wild is that?"
"What did you have to do?" SisIggy asked.
"What I do best," he said. "Talk for 15 minutes about Michael Phelps and Trimming a Christmas Tree. You know, just bullsh** them."
Yes we know. He's been doing that to us for the past 17 years. And to think you can earn All-District honors for it.
Now he gets to go to the state's Region B Co-Ed Forensic Championship, March 15 at Buffalo Gap.
And that's no BULLSH**.
