People like her drive me nutz. Way to go Dilbert! You have found a valid task for Topper(justifying his annoying existence) and disabled the local parent reliving her life through her "spawns" lives.

Why is it, when a parent says, "My kid goes to [insert Ivy League or West Coast Ivy here], it is bragging, but if she says, "My kid goes to Cal State LA," it's not? Where your kid goes to college is a statement of fact. I used to purposely avoid telling people where one of my four went, because I didn't want to seem like I was bragging, even though he worked his tail off to get there. I waited until people specifically asked for the name of the university.

That's what's sad--that intelligence and hard work is seen as being anti-social.

"Topper, I need you."

I never thought I'd read those words.
