in your face. apparently boy doing the biography on Tolkien has LOTS of friends and is also 6 feet tall. i feel the combination of extreme height in a 4th grader in addition to the advanced reading skills should have swayed the issue in your favor. but no, it didn’t. my mom said he is befriended left and right.

p.s. holy fuck i do not like this new moveable type interface.
Good for him. All the tall boys in fourth grade were popular when I was a kid. They were good at sports. Sports=popular, even if you can read like a mofo.
