Back in February of 2010, when Greyson got accepted to BGA, along with his acceptance letter he got a little gift from BGA which included a spirit shirt and a car sticker. I let him put the sticker on my car as a little reward or event to get him excited about going to a new school. Then I promptly forgot about it.
Flash forward to February 2012 when someone else received her acceptance in the mail... (I have an adorable picture of her beaming and holding her letter which is on our photo hard drive, which is Lord knows where in this shoebox crammed full of crap, sigh) The excitement was palpable but not because she was finally going to BGA, which she had been talking about constantly for the last two years, but...well you probably can guess.
"Mommy, when can I put the sticker on your car?"
"Huh?" (At this point I had honestly forgotten that I had let Greyson do that over 2 years ago)
"When Greyson got into BGA, he got to put a BGA sticker on your car. I want to put mine on."
Now unfortunately, rightly assuming that sibling families already are choking on enough BGA paraphernalia they could die,siblings don't get the same package of BGA goodies. So I had no sticker to give her. I finally got around to going to the BGA bookstore in April and even more finally actually had 5 minutes and remembered to let her do it last week. Though don't think she didn't remember, I got nagged about it at least once a week.
Once she put it on, she danced around and said "Now I am going to BGA!" If I had known that was all she cared about I would have saved the tuition money and just bought a sticker for my car!
