An award you don't want to win
Sixth-grader Matt Porter is upset after his teachers presented him with an award for Most Likely Not to Have Children during a ceremony at his Indiana school.
Now his parents want an apology, but apparently it hasn't been forthcoming from the teachers involved.
This could be a devastating blow to a kid heading out on summer vacation. How's he going to hit up the ice cream shop or movie theatre with that award hanging over his head? Confidence is everything at that age, and no matter how he rolls, this has done serious damage to his rep.
I wouldn't know the feeling, as I was the proud recipient of the "Most Likely to Devastate a Whole City with His Good Looks" award in sixth grade, but this kid deserves an apology, or else he could become the "Most Likely to Litigate."
