Zac came for a visit this weekend while Adam and Tai were visiting her parents in SunRiver. During the four days he spent with us, this very animated 12-year-old told several good stories, but this one was the best! It seems his science teacher sent his parents an e-mail announcing Zac had a D, then outlined all the problems he had recently been having in class. Upon receipt of the e-mail, Tai and Adam reacted as most parents would. "ZACHARY ADAM CHRISTENSEN . . . get down here right this minute," Tai shouted from the bottom of the stairs after receiving the e-mail. Knowing he was in serious trouble "because she used my middle name!" Zac came down from his bedroom to face his angry parents who told him, in no uncertain terms, things had to change. With that, they "gutted my bedroom until all I had left was my bed" while telling him he was going to have to knuckle down and work hard in order to earn everything back!!! The following morning at school, the teacher approached him sheepishly stating he owed Zac a very big apology - which came in the form of a giant Snickers bar. It seems, the teacher in his haste, had e-mailed the parents of the Christensen boy rather than the Christiansen boy! His parents, too, apologized! Turns out Zac is actually getting a B+ in his science class! Funny, huh?
