Son#4 and Son#5 passed their exams. One with merit the other with excellence. There were some surprises but overall they're pleased.
I'm pleased.
Their father's pleased. Well that was the impression I got from the text message he sent on his cell phone (our only contact at the moment). I might be a writer and I might love words but text messages generally leave me cold (and I really really want to use correct spelling when I text but it just wastes characters - and time). But at the moment, I'll take them!
Anyway it seems that Son#4 has retained his reputation as the family brains and hopefully Son#5 has learnt that hard work does pay off!
Actually Son#4's brothers used a slang term in place of 'brains' but I won't use it here in case it has negative connotations in some parts of the world. Or has the opposite meaning (which happened not too long ago on a forum I frequent where I was called something that basically means 'dunce' here but has the opposite meaning elsewhere. Still laughing about that.)
Now we just wait for the scholarship results (February).
