Certainly there are children out there that are truly handicapped. None of the Girhippo's are however. They have atrocious diets, that's for sure which can't help.

They don't get enough sleep as the Gir rarely supervises anything her kids do. Most of the school week they are staying over at their equally underachieving "friends" houses. Staying up all night and scarfing down mac and cheese, doritos, oreos, chocolate ice cream, cheese pizza and any sweets, candy or fast food that they may encounter.

SO... when Chef last went to court recently, he mentioned something about linking post high school CS to college grades.

OUT OF THE BLUE Dominatrix's (SD 16.5) grades mysteriously shot up from all Fs to high Cs!! Usually this is the result of the Gir or StepDaddyBigBucks doing her homework for her. But yet the Gir had Dominatrix labeled "Learning Disabled -- Other" i.e. "miscellaneous" and immediately put her on anti-depressants starting in Grade 3.

Meanwhile, The New York State Mother of the Year Award is just around the corner, which I'm sure if the Gir knew about this, she would most definitely nominate herself! http://www.albany.com/event/mother-of-the-year-59464/ Coinciding with Mother's Day, of course.
