May 9 (UPI) -- A mother and son are celebrating the run-up to Mother's Day by walking across the stage Friday to accept their master's degrees from Texas Christian University.
The school announced its first-ever graduate-only ceremony on Friday will feature Kyle Fields accept- ing his Master of Liberal Arts degree and his moth- er, Brandi Fields, receiving her Executive Master of Business Administration degree.
"Sharing this moment with my son is something I never imagined," Brandi Fields said in a news release from the school. "We've supported each other through late nights and strict deadlines. To walk the stage together, especially on Mother's Day weekend, is an incredible
and meaningful moment for our family."
She said her journey toward getting her gradu- ate degree was a long one.
"Returning to the class- room after so many years was a challenge," she said. "But learning along- side experienced profes- sionals from diverse back- grounds made it incredibly rewarding. The insights I gained from both profes- sors and peers were invaluable."
Kyle Fields, who worked as an equipment manager for TCU Athletics, said he believes sports will be his future.
"Sports have always been a big part of my life," he said. "After graduation, I want to continue to work in the sports industry. The ultimate goal is to work for Nike."
Teacher: "Kids, what does the chicken give you?" Student: "Meat!" Teacher: "Very good!
Now what does the pig give you?" Student: "Bacon!" Teacher: "Great!
And what does the fat cow give you?" Student: "Homework!"
A lady comes home from her doctor's appoint- ment grinning from ear to ear.
Her husband asks, "Why are you so happy?" The wife says, "The doctor told me that for a forty-five year old woman, I have the breasts of a eighteen year old."
"Oh yeah?" quipped her hus- band, "What did he say about your forty-five year old ass?"
She said, "Your name never came up in the conver- sation."
A wife asked her husband, "What do you like most in me, my pretty face or my sexy
body?"
He looked at her from head to toe and replied, "I like your sense of humor!"
A worldwide sur- vey was conduct- ed by the UN.
The only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure.
In Africa they did- n't know what "food" meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "short- age" meant.
In China they did- n't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
A blonde, a red- head, and a brunette were all lost in the desert.
They found a lamp and rubbed it. A genie popped out and granted them each one wish.
The redhead wished to be back home. Poof! She was back home.
The brunette wished to be at home with her family. Poof! She was back home with her family.
The blonde said, "Awwww, I wish my friends were here."
President Lincoln was approached by a woman after a political speech...
If you were my husband I would poison your tea.
Lincoln replied...if you are my wife I’ll gladly drink it.
