[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I usually said “oh wow” or “great.” I don’t take it personally, so for the most part I didn’t really care.

My fave moment was when a friend said that her kid got a 98 on an exam. Her kid is very smart, and she was happy about it. My kid, however, got a 99 so I was over the moon. I didn’t say anything back but “wow,” and I still think about how delicious it is that nobody knows but us, which is most important.

I just didn’t engage. When it comes to my friends’ kids, I’m genuinely happy about their wins. But, we talk about losses and the hard stuff too. [/quote]

Lol I tell them my parents used to beat the crap out of me if I got a 98 (how dumb are you to not get a 100).  Then I say hey I guess it worked out because it was less annoying to get a 100 than to deal with them - probably why I went to HYP.

Sit back and watch the show on their faces then as they process what you mean.  Only white people would be proud of a 98 and think it meant something, lol.[/quote]

Racist twit. Not lol.[/quote]

Aw, hit a nerve did I?  Now you’ll know better than to brag about your kids mediocrity.

Also look up the definition of racist and why I can’t be racist towards white people.  A jackass, sure, of which I am proud.[/quote]

DP. Do you think you are being clever? Annoying, yes but clever, not so much.[/quote]
