Kid Whose Dad Died Has Newfound Seniority on the Playground

VANCOUVER. WA- A parent passing is never easy, but 9-year-old Michael McKay discovered that since his Dad passed last week, he has a newfound superiority on the playground. "Corbin Hall's mom and dad got divorced last month, and no one had anything they could top that with. But with my dad dying last week, I really have them all by their throats. I am untouchable." McKay's father had been battling thyroid cancer for over three years, and it has taken quite the toll on his family.

"Having a sick parent is cool and all but wasn't enough to top Matthew Conrad who broke his leg and had crutches everyone could play with. But when it seemed like my dad was

on his last days, I knew my reign was upon all of us." McKay's regime lasted about a week until Gracie Allwood's mom returned from Afghanistan after being deployed for eight months and surprised Allwood in class with a pizza party.
