Cap and Gown

As Bryan was tucking Cooper into bed last night he told Cooper something exciting.

Bryan: Cooper, I'm not going to school tomorrow.

Cooper: Why? Where are you going?

Bryan: I'm staying home with you. I can play with you tomorrow.

Cooper: (disbelief, then excessive grinning)

Bryan took his last final yesterday. The last final of the MBA program. Tomorrow he will dress up in a fancy black cap, black gown, and a blue hood. And we will cheer and clap.

And maybe cry.
