Graduation(yeah right){dialogue challenge}

“I can’t believe you’re a graduate!”
“Yeah, a college girl now. Princeton here comes Jessica Nicole Glavin.”

“Mom, for the hundreth time today, I didn’t get accepted to Princeton.”
“Not yet.
“Not ever, today’s graduation!”

“Don’t worry, you’ll get in.”
“Yeah tell that to my teacher, she’ll be suprised. And then if you tell Aunt Margy she might even laugh. It’s impossible!”

“Nothing’s impossible. You should know that, Jess. We raised you that way.”

“Well, I’ll tell you what’s impossible, college. Mom I failed all but three classes. I’m no college girl yet.”
