In the stacks of paperwork I had to fill out on the first day of school, there was the “Celebration Book” donation.  Basically, as a parent, I could buy a new book for the library with an inscription for my child/children.  Most people usually do it on a special day, such as their birthday, but I opted for December 1st, and gave both Scout and Navy their books on the same day.  On the book, there is also the reason they are getting a “celebration book”.  So naturally, I put the reason I thought best — Navy is the “Cutest girl on Earth”, and Scout is the “cutest boy on Earth”.

They didn’t know they were getting them, and I had forgotten too.
But when they came home, they both told me it was SO embarrassing to have the principal announce them as being the cutest boy and girl on earth.
I was so proud, and secretly they were too.
