he passed

adam before his spring formal

years ago the terrell household started a birthday tradition of quizzing the birthday kid. pam and i figured that there are some important things that a kid should learn during any given year of life. therefore, on each child’s birthday that child is quizzed to determined whether he know these things or not. if the child doesn’t pass the quiz then he is relegated to live the previous year over again in hopes that he will learn the right things.

today is adam’s birthday and therefore during supper pam and i started the birthday quiz. the questions revolve around things that we believe are important to being a terrell and a human. the questions vary but here are a few that occur every year.

  • what are the 4 things that a real man does?
  • loves GOD
  • loves his family
  • protects women
  • protects those who are weaker than him
  • what is the only band that matters?
  • what are the 4 things that a real man has on him at all legal times to solve problems?
    • a pen
    • a bandaide
    • a knife
    • a phone/calling card
  • if you were stranded on a deserted island with a portable dvd player, a solar charger, and 1 dvd, which dvd would you want to have?
  • whose mr. darcy portrayal is the best (this is pam’s question – definitely not mine)?
  • they’re simple questions but they are things that we believe are important to being a terrell guy of a certain age.

    i’m proud to announce that adam has passed his 16th test and is now officially a 16 year old. he’ll be taking another test for the state of wisconsin concerning whether they trust him to drive or not next week. i’m sure he will pass that too.

    4. haha, i love that you have a knife on the list of things that a "reall man has on him in all legal situations" because I ALWAYS need a pocket knife and get so frustrated when I ask a group of guys for one, and none of them have one—however, I no longer have this problem because one of my operators this summer gave me the coolest pocket knife ever!!!! He was surprised to see how excited I was to get it!
