Question: What is with all the graduations? I graduated three times: High school, college, master's degree.

Now we're getting announcements about eighth grade graduation. Eighth grade?!? Congrats, you're advancing to high school. (insert eye roll)

Preschool graduation I can almost understand: Little kids in robes! Cute!
Kindergarten graduation I don't get.
Graduating every time you advance to another school I don't get.

How much pomp and circumstance does a child need?

Comments:
Graduations are boring as hell. I just send a card with some cash and skip them all.
 
Oh, me too, but it occurred to me that assuming Laura's cousin one day goes to college, we will have received FIVE graduation announcements in his short life!
 
I was once the speaker at my (tiny) school's 6th grade "celebration" and used the disparaging line for "The Incredibles" about celebrating mediocrity....I was not asked to speak again...
