Yesterday, across the country, Krispy Kreme Donuts offered up a free "Graduate Dozen" to the members of The Class of 2020.

Our son was fired up.

Then he slept in until 11am.

When he got in touch with his friends (fellow Seniors), they decided, "NO WAY!"

Apparently their peers had reported waiting in line for up to 45 minutes and to impatient 18-year-old boys, you might as well be saying you had to wait for 6 years.

So, was this the norm?  Uh...we had it easy,  Check out THIS line of cars from a Krispy Kreme in Chicago.  The queue for free donuts was only 2 MILES LONG!
