I got a 99 on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills when I was in 5th grade. When my oldest daughter was in 3rd grade and about to take them for the first time, I told her that if she got a 99, I would take her out for pizza. Wouldn't you know it, cost me $20. Last Friday, she called me at my office and said Nolan, her oldest son, wanted to talk to me. He's is third grade and, sure enough, he just got a 99 on his basic skills test. I told Nolan that when his mother got her 99, I took her out for pizza. He replied, "That's what mom said. When are you coming over for mine?" This time, though, it will cost me at least $40. We're getting together this weekend, we still have all the test scorecards, believe it or not, and we're going to take a three generation 99 basic skills test score photo. I'm the dumb one, though. I didn't get mine until 5th grade!
