So you would assume that when I post stories about my kids and their accomplishments, you may be thinking, “Wow, Wyatt and Mrs. Earp are really good parents.”
Apparently not.
Yesterday we received a text from my college friend Bill. It read, “Congratulations to Kevin on earning his black belt AND being named to the Archdiocese’s Scholar-Athlete Honor roll!”
Mrs. Earp came down to the basement and said, “Apparently Kevin made the 2022 Fall Sports Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll, and Bill knew about it before we did.” I looked at her and said something along the lines of, “Wow, we’re terrible parents.” We never received an email from Kevin’s school, and they’re usually great with emails.
Thirteen other members of his Kevin’s cross-country team – which I think is almost every runner – also made the list, and I didn’t even know it happened. Not like Kevin would mention it. He’s usually tight-lipped about those things, and never brags about grades.
Obviously, we’re very proud of him, and we’ll be more in tune with future Honor Rolls.
