Reading and writing are emphasized on in the Dublin Schools, and Michael's teacher took advantage of the completion of his thirty fifth issue of Kool Kid to honor Michael. I would guess this would be to inspire his classmates to create, but no matter the reason, Michael was very happy to celebrate this milestone.
It had the trappings of a great party; Jenny made gluten-free cookies shaped like Kool Kid's skateboard, there was chocolate milk for all, and Alex was excused from his class so he could attend. Essentially, the kids ate and listened to a reading; after Michael completed his oration, it even became hands on, as the kids broke off in pairs and consumed them. During this time you could hear kids shouting across the room things such as, "Who has issue 14?" To which Michael turned to his mother, and with a smile said, "Wow. This is amazing. I can't believe they're so interested."
