[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell them that their first choice didn’t want them, and so they should now use that as motivation to crush that school’s kids in math and science competitions, and on the soccer field. In addition, teach them to sneak in a red card level challenge off the ball when the referee’s head is turned (though try not to cause any injury - we have a strong code of moral ethics in our family and that would be over the line). Revenge is sweet. It’s an important life lesson. (I feel silly needing to say this, but obviously, I kid. Getting rejected just means that your kid got caught up in a numbers game. Nobody’s fault, and it’s no reflection on your kid. Just tell them that.)[/quote] Of course, you are kidding. But, hey, human nature: It does feel good to beat the people who essentially said you are not good enough for us. :wink: [/quote]
