When Sam was in high school his dismal attendance record got him kicked out of the English department (as a recent recipient of a Masters Degree he has obviously made a big turn around). At the time, one of the teachers, Sam Beason, decided to make Sam his personal "project" and offered to help him get credit in English, which he needed to graduate, if he would join the debate class, unbeknown to him that also meant joining the school debate team. Long story short - or short story even shorter - Sam ended up winning the state championship in debate that year. Needless to say, he is a talented debater - unless of course he is facing off against me, hem, hem.
I think our son may share his talent - or at least his love for debate. The following is a conversation I had with him a few days ago:
Ollie: Mom, say no. Pleeeeeeeeease!
Mom: huh
Ollie: Say no.
Mom: Okay, no.
Ollie: YES!
Mom (catching on now): no
Ollie: YES!
Mom: no
Ollie: YES!
Mom: no
Ollie YES!
Mom: no
