Honor student who brought pocketknife to school suspended for year, gives emotional plea (VIDEO)
StandardWow… I can understand that the security guards had to do their job. But after the case was brought to the school board, I would have thought it would have been overturned considering it’s a POCKET KNIFE! I had one on my keychain as soon as I turned 16! My dad gave it to me! Most parents and grandparents see them as good GIFTS for their kids, and now kids have to turn down those gifts because it could ruin their high school educations? We need to re-draw the line here.

It’s a new era, and a new audience. This new story is hardly outlandish and fits quite well. I think it’s a better change than what they did to the Mandarin! I mean C’MON!

On May 19th, 2010, Chris Illuminati quit his job to be a stay-at-home father for his newly born son. When beginning his endeavor, Chris stated “As a reminder of everything going on with my writing, I leave Post-It Notes around my office as reminders. I decided to incorporate those same organizational principles while watching my son.”
The Post-Its left for his permanent roommate (his wife) comically capture the day to day endeavors of raising a child.
