Kay Adams Advocates For Parents Playing Rock-Paper-Scissors To See Who Has To Go To Their Kid's Graduation

It's graduation season which means a new crop of wide-eyed youngsters who didn't get in trouble for protesting on behalf of Hamas will cross the stage and receive their hard-earned diplomas.

Six months after that, they'll learn they really do have to repay those student loans. 

However, graduation can often be a dull, boring affair that families feel obligated to attend even if they don't want to. 

I mean, who wouldn't want to sit on hot metal bleachers to watch their kid accept a $120,000 women's studies degree?

However, Kay Adams, she of FanDuel TV's Up & Adams, has a solution: only one parent needs to go to the ceremony.

Adams was talking to producer Jordan King who was lamenting the fact that he had to sit through one of these.

At the end of the discussion, Adams and King proclaimed that only one parent needed to go to the ceremony, and I couldn't agree more. We don't all need to sit there, especially when it seems like most of the kids just walk out of them anyway because they're mad that Jerry Seinfeld isn't taking the terrorists' side.

Plus. most of these ceremonies are live-streamed anyway.

I watched a livestream of my brother's graduation last December in my living room while I drank coffee in the same shorts and T-shirt I slept in the night before.

Now, that is how you watch a graduation ceremony.

But how do you decide who has to take one for the team and pretend to be excited art history majors?

Adams decided that a good ol' fashioned game of rock-paper-scissors — or as she keeps calling it for some reason, "paper-scissors-rock" — will do the trick.

I mean, if both parents want to go, go crazy, but if everyone is content with one parent serving as the official family representative and you can't decide who should do that would be a high-stakes game of rock-paper-scissors that I wouldn't mind watching.

If you win, you can't act too excited. If you lose, you've got to temper how bummed you are, lest you upset the graduate.
