We could go get ice cream, tell each other secrets, all the things mothers and sons do.

As the proctor answered the questions for me, they joked that for part of the test, I had to fill in the little bubbles on the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I left that day feeling excited to see my 1600 waiting for me. Yet when the scores came in the mail, and I saw that 400, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder what my score would be if I took the same test as everyone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Sunday, I couldn\u2019t have been more happy.
