Favorite Memory

Pam's favorite memory was when her son, Josh, graduated from college with his Associate's degree. She told a funny story of how she made a bet with him, thinking that he wasn't serious about going to college. He had told her that eventually he was going to go to college and she didn't believe it because she figured he went into the military to get out of going back to school. He proceeded to ask her if she wanted to bet a thousand dollars that he was going to get a degree, and Pam agreed. Pam said she was happy to pay up, however when Josh asked her if she wanted to make another bet on if he would go back for his Bachelor's degree, she declined.
