Just Teasing

I had applied for several scholarships for the upcoming year and was thrilled to learn that I had won one from my school, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Sometimes such awards are named after places. The letter the university sent me said that I had won the Las Vegas Strip Scholarship, named after the street with all the major hotels.

When I told my mother about the award she paused, then asked, “Just what exactly did you do to win that scholarship?”
