Ned (in the skinny tie) and three of his oldest and best friends, Drew, Raphael and Paulson (Nat was in the audience) play the steel drums at the 8th grade "promotion" ceremony. It was long, filled with speeches and awards for most improved catagories, but I could not help but feel proud of my son and his friends who are all becoming interesting humans. Ned and his friends are an actual functioning group of individuals that are autonomous and no longer in need of us, their parents, in many ways. It's fun to watch them try out their new personalities. It was disturbing how overdressed, glammed out and uber sexualized 14 year old girls can get. High School for 4 years now. Work towards scholarships boy.
