That little snot lost me at math! Math and I have not been on speaking terms since the 2nd grade.

My brother got an A in annoying.

“….She already let me know what kind of student YOU were, Dad.”

He might be…but I bet he can’t spell it.

Grandma knows he’s right.

Are you sure he’s your father, kid?

Envious.

As I remember it, I was a good student in school. When my mom died and my sister and I sorted through the stuff she left behind, I found a box with my old report cards in them.

It is amazing how selective my memory had become.

Yes.

She’s kept his report cards in a small box for years…

That doesn’t mean he didn’t have to stay after school and write 500 times, “I will not brag in class”

You’d think he would be proud that his son is such a good student.

I can’t quite make out what’s happening with grandma’s face in the last panel.

Yes. Yes he is. I know I am.

He’s probably making it up to impress the present-giving Grama

I’m guessing the little brat is home schooled.

Same here

Turns out what he’s really good at is hacking the computer to change his grades.

Heck. I’m jealous…..

In 4th grade, I went to 3 different schools (retiring USAF father). In each one, I missed long division. I blame my total lack of math ability on that. Well, that’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it!
