Graduation of the high school persuasion

​I remember my high school graduation. Dad yelled out during my brother’s ceremony when his name was announced, and everyone laughed. I forgot that he might do the same to me. I remember walking up to receive the diploma from the superintendent. Right when I did, and as the applause died down, dad yelled out "it’s about time" making everyone laugh. I didn’t hear what he had said, nor could anything embarrass me. I remember after the ceremony the photographer came up to me, still laughing, face red, and said how sorry he was that he didn’t get a photo of me receiving my diploma, that he was laughing too hard from my dad’s outburst. That sort of sums it up.
