"I have nothing to say."


Once, my grandparents visited me at boarding school during "grandparents' weekend." My grandparents only just happened to be visiting from Japan, and at a reception the headmaster, an unshakably cheerful Quaker who always told us students to get "high ON LIFE," noted that there were grandparents visiting "from as far away as Japan!" The grandparents were given a thorough tour of the campus, pictured above, and then gathered at a reception at the headmaster's home. When we were greeted by the headmaster at his front door, my grandfather took his hand and said, slowly and carefully, "I have nothing to say."
