A Fine Minnesotan Education

So today my par­ents, my sis­ters, and I took Michael and Andy back to their par­ents in San Jose. As the adults were chat­ting in the liv­ing room, the kids talked about ran­dom things such as the Harry Pot­ter prophecy, Vietlish, and swim­ming. Sud­denly, Gio Linh brought up a tan­gent that led to today’s quote.

What does ‘tena­cious’ mean?”

- Gio Linh.

As in ‘Tena­cious D’ ?”

- Dong Ha.

Do you know what ‘tenac­ity’ means?”

- Me.

Oh, I know! My coach told us to do some­thing ‘with tenac­ity’ before. I think it means ‘with life’… Or maybe the oppo­site. I forgot.”

- Andy.

Oh, Andy. He’s in tenth grade, if you’re curious.

  1. I have also for­got what tenac­ity means. :em16: We should have vote BTW for what the smi­lies should be named.

  2. I don’t know what tenac­ity is either, but I am a fob, so I guess it is okay.

    Haha, I can actu­ally hear you say “Do you know what tenac­ity mean?” cus that’s what you tell me some­times when I ask you about some­thing. But most of the time you explain it to me, cus you know I am a fob. HAR!
