I wish I could figure out a way to post the video of our ceremony without showing the kids full face because it was hilarious!
A background story: a few years ago when I completed my Masters program, I received the DVD of the ceremony and played it often 'cause I was so excited to be done. The keynote speaker gave probably one of the korniest speeches I had ever heard with 3-4 very funny lines that we would crack up about every time we heard them. Two years ago when we started doing award ceremonies, I started into a korny speech and quoted the same lines. My kids roared and it became a part of out ceremony.
Today, when I started the Pomp & Circumstance music, the 2 older kids burst out laughing in anticipation of the speech.
And now... the promoted class of 2008/2009 MHS Rotties!
