Shit For Brains
Yesterday was a day of celebration for me and my family. Yesterday my brother defended his thesis and received his PhD...thus I will now be known as the sister of a doctor.

I was reminiscing with my brother last night about our childhood and our grades among many things. In those days I was the smart one with the better report card and let me tell you....mine sucked so you can imagine my brother. Teachers would tell my parents that he would amount to nothing and it was better to take him out of school quickly and not waste their time. We all blamed his failing grades on the fact he always fell on his head as a . I vaguely remember my mother running his head under cold water to revive him as the fall would knock him out cold

We were not allowed to go to school when it was severely cold out as mom was worried we would freeze...she would follow by saying..."well even if you miss a few days neither of you are going to become doctors." Well, my brother laughs...he proved them wrong....me on the other hand...I had a different tactic.

My mother came from Italy fairly young so most of her education was done in Canada. My father on the other hand came to Canada at 19 years old....so it is bred and born into him and even today he does not understand all the variances of the English language...but when I was young..I took advantage.

I would get my report card....all E's some of the time and he would ask what these letter grades meant. I decoded the grades like this:

A is for brava….ahhhh…would have the emphasis
B is for buona which in Italian means good
C is for corretta which in Italian means correct
D I told him I did not remember
E is for eccellente which in Italian means excellent.

Now that was ingenious…I can’t believe my dad fell for it….mind you my mother wanted to keep me out of trouble so she schooled me on the grading system…this very one she used on her father.

Intelligence? No way. Smart ass? Maybe I am. A sister of a doctor? Without doubt…I am proud of him that’s all.
