For his day off from school, my 6th grade son Sam decided to set a world record.  He looked up some possibilities and decided on one that he would try, “Sitting with a _____ on your head (duration).” ***

He set up his tablet to record and began watching some movies.  Throughout the day, I would receive text updates.  It looked like my boy would have a world record in hand (via a _____ on his head).

Coming home, I saw him dejected.  Yes, just like a slugger, who missed a game winning homer by a foot or a quarterback who threw an interception to end the game, my son was horribly sad.  You see, the tablet’s video function turns off after one hour.  A technical glitch that ruined it all.

Well my son, ice up those sore muscles.  Now, you know that you can do it and you are aware of your last obstacle to cross.  I would say that’s a day off well spent in any record book.

*** – Note that the thing on Sam’s head has been withheld, in order to give him another chance.  Thanks.  I knew you’d understand.
