I am so beaming with pride over my dear 8yo son.  He entered a story for the PBS sponsored Reading Rainbow contest and won second place out of over 250 entries.  We'll take that strong second.  The story is absolutely adorable, based on true events.  One day at school, after a set of pretty bad circumstances, he had to tell a lie to his teacher.  He was so tore up about it that he couldn't tell me.  He had never told a lie before in his entire life.  The story he wrote is called "Owl's First Lie."  It is really, really cute, sweet and heartwarming.

So, if anyone wants to view his amazing work, go to www.wgvu.com  Then click on clubhouse, then reading rainbow, then winners.... Third Grade, second place.  Just beaming with pride here, wanted to share with my friends!!

I know we're all quite busy, but if you have a quick minute and want to read this 350-word story, go to www.wgvu.org  Then click on clubhouse, then reading rainbow, then winners.... Third Grade, second place.  Just beaming with pride here, wanted to share with my friends!! 

I don't understand what the issue was below actually.  The boy won a Wii and already had one.  Why should he not be able to return it and get something else?

How many of you would win a car and refuse it because you already had a car?  I for one would not... I would either sell the car and use the money for something I needed/wanted or I would keep the car and sell my other car...

He should not be penalized for winning a prize that is just what he already has - he should be able to enjoy his luck just like any other child would have...
