Tell Your Mother

[marval]

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 7-year- old baseball players aside and asked,

"Do you understand what co-operation is? What a team is?"

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"

The little boy nodded yes.

"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a ***-head. Do you understand all that?"

Again the little boy nodded.

He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's bad sportsmanship to call your coach "pot head" isn't it?''

Again the little boy nodded.

"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your mother."

Excuse very late response, been away. It's not just these days, thirty years ago a father was 'sent off' at a netball tournament in which my class were playing, don't know who was more embarrassed, me or his wife.

'me or my mother' fify, zebo. ;)

[zebo]

No, definitely me or his wife, I was the teacher of the netball team!

Lucky devil. That's my dream job. (not really)
