Daddy Dilemma

So today my Dad came home from work and asked my brother how he'd done at his cross country meet, my brother proceeded to turn around and show him his shirt that said "Invitational Champions". Of course my dad became very happy and was all "good job son"s and "I'm so proud of you"s etc. etc.   so then he asked my mother to take a picture of him and Preston, my brother, with the shirt on. I couldn't help but notice that he never took a picture of me with my Educational Award of Honor certificate signed by the freakin' president or any of the other awards I've gotten for being smart. I mean honestly its not like Preston actually won it himself he just got it because his TEAM could run fast. And I know my dad was proud of me for all of my stuff too, it just isn't celebrated as publicly as a physical victory. Some people may disagree but I think our society puts a higher honor an physical talents. Not many people I know sit down as a family to watch the national math bowl, but they do watch their local sports teams and the Olympics. Now I'm not saying that my father purposefully decided that my brother was more accomplished then I, in fact the opposite, I know my dad would rather have us both be intelligent than good at sports. However he has grown up in America where he has been effected by society and the media and he SUBCONSCIOUSLY found this moment to be a moment of honor and needing of documentation, which is exactly what is happening all around us all the time. So I'm not yet sure how this part of subconscious works but i'll figure it out soon, and that is also why this is labeled under Random thoughts.
