Mormons win!

We won our first valedictorian trophy last night. We attended a school fundraiser where we played a version of Are you smarter than a Cascia hall kid? Our friends kids go to Cascia, a Tulsa Catholic Prep School and they dared us into playing along. You know, if you think you're so smart, prove it. Okay, maybe not exactly. At the conclusion we had to walk up front to be announced as the winners and claim our trophies. There were gasps and shouts of "the Mormons won" which is not the venue I thought I would hear that remark.



It will go down in history as the first trophy for some of the participants. I'd like to thank our Catholic friends, they are the best, and such good sports, for allowing us this opportunity, which is how I was going to begin my acceptance speech, but nobody wanted to hear it.

Emily hid the trophy on the bookshelf, she may think her parents are not as bright as the trophy implies. We originally all got a trophy, you know they handed our team eight of the little statues. We returned four because we couldn't imagine the decorating possibilities at the time.
