Manitoba because it was too big and i was afraid id get lost and end up trapped in the engineering the child has spent the past three Summers at the u of making me fear for her future professional oppor we already have one Engineer in the family another might break my i have this fantasy 9f actually being Able to talk to the child after she has done attending prepared for a fascinating career As a heart sur and financial Patron to her aged but i the child is one of thousands who Are attending min University this this is not this is not summer this is not a casual summer program where the highlight is running through a sprinkler set up on a hot Asphalt this is a preparation for life at uni the kids learn to stand in line to Lis Lindor Reynolds ten to their instructors to spend a lot of time gossiping with their friends and to spend As much time As possible on activities unrelated to the reason they were registered for the these activities include taking bathroom Rock climb and drinking lukewarm in a horrifying it also involves Fenc ing this an invitation to an Eye poking if Ever there was one they also get to tour the Dis covering that there Are statues of Nek kid people outside the faculty of so unlike real kegs of Beer Are not involved parents enrol their kids because the programs Are kids like staff members Are Well trained and because 10 weeks of summer vacation

its a Little sad that we have to teach our kids to have but in grateful that the u of m is willing to do in but they refuse to hire me for the in a Little concerned about the next program the tyke and her pals Are signed up its a career module that will expose her to phar to production and physical educationist would be a supreme irony if i ended up with a daughter who was a phased id have to claim cramps every time she wanted to get she narrowly avoided signing up for the engineering module Only because i sign the cheques and i refused theres and then theres engaging in behaviour that just Doest fit the family is she really going to be prepared for University Only if she plans to major in Rock climbing and is she going to have a fun summer almost As much fun As a kid should be allowed to have ;
