Benjamin was invited to become a member of the Junior National Honor Society at Griffin Middle School. Here's the conversation this morning:

Zach: Mom, what is the National Honor Society?

Mom: It's quite an honor. It's those students who are doing well in school and also in other aspects of life. For example Ben is in Scouts and also active in church service. He does track and band. He has good grades. Stuff like that. When I was in high school I was in National Honor Society.

Glenn: Yeah, I wasn't GOOD ENOUGH to be in National Honor Society.

Mom: Well Ben, looks like it's you and me at the Induction Meeting next week. Yeah, I don't think they allow for "non" National Honor Society folk to attend. (Glenn's eyes got really big.)

Glenn: Well, alrighty then!... let's just be that way.

Ben: Yeah, I do lots of good stuff Zach (said kind of sarcastically).

Zach: (this was said VERY sarcastically) Do you get a vest or something, if you join? I'd do it if I got a Vest. Vests are so cool! (Now we're mocking!)

I'm not sure where this "vest" thing is coming from... but we sure are happy that Ben is setting a GREAT example for all of us.
