When my daughter was in middle school at her graduation she won the award for being a drama queen.

When she graduated elementary school she won the award for being a chatter box.

Every kid got something and none of the awards were flattering, it was all in good fun.

She’ll be staring her third year of college and she still has them prominently displayed in her bedroom and she loves them and the memories they rekindle.

IMO some one should have taught this kid how to lighten up and roll with it.

I agree, but would add that the parents need a lesson in that as well.

Yesterday was the awards ceremony at my daughter's school.....she was more excited about the one she got in the classroom from the teacher than the one she got during the school ceremony.

From her teacher the award is "Most likely to become Cat Woman"

At the school ceremony she received the Principal's Award, which is for Straight A's and Honor Roll for the entire school year.

(She could have very well earned a chatter box or drama queen award)

Cheers for your daughter!

This is what scoreless little league games has wrought.

Well I think the “Most likely not to have children.” was a bit over the top.

The “Sir Clowns Alot” I have no issue with.

personally, i loathe awards that mean nothing... awards are something for which to strive... on the other hand, i want my kids to be able to take a joke... it's a balance... what to do, what to do... i can see giving a child "Sir Clowns A lot" if that child is a clown... however, the "Least Likely to have Children" was in poor taste...
