Mr. J. is special because...

Mr. J was asked to fill out the yellow paper with several questions for his birthday celebration at school, including why he is special.

Mr. J had grandpa write on the yellow paper: It is my birthday today

Ms. G: We all know it is your birthday, Mr. J.  Why else are you special?
Mr. J: ...(thinking} ...  Because I give my mommy and daddy hugs everyday.
Ms. G : Is that so?
Mommy: .... eh ...  I suppose.... (still pondering how giving hugs makes one special)

Ms. T:  Mr. J always listens, and Mr. J. always raises his hand to speak.  We wish we have more obedient students like Mr. J.  The other kids never have to tell on Mr. J.

Ms. G: Mr. J. almost always has the right answer.  He gets upset when he gets it wrong.  He would not raise his hand if he is not sure but would ask afterwards.

Mommy and daddy are  proud of Mr. J.  So are grandpa and grandma.

Mommy will be proud of Mr. J. no matter what Ms. G and Ms. T say or think. 
Mommy thinks Mr. J is special enough being Mr. J.  He does not need to be perfect for others.

(Mommy also secretly wishes that Mr. J is more thick-skinned...)
