re: Tiger Tales: True Confessions, Brushes With Fame & Infamous Tiger Escapades!

Quick Tiger Tale of sorts. Son just brought home a stack of homework to be reviewed and signed by us. I was going through it, checking his grades, making sure he was getting his work done when I see an English paper he had to write. They had to do a parable and the title caught my attention. "The Tiger and the jayhawk". He went on to talk about all the misfortunes the jayhawk had because of his arrogance and when faced with adversity he would give up and quit. The Tiger, on the other hand, would fight and never give up and always eventually succeeded. At the end they had to write what the moral of the story was and it was "Always be a Tiger. Never be a jayhawk." The kicker of the story is that his English teacher...yepp...is a kU grad. Give her credit though, he still got an "A" on the paper. Not sure what I did, but did something right with the kid.
