minx Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 children regularly do things to torment their parents. admit you all did and probably still do. my offspring has chosen organized sports as my form karmic retribution for not learning to play the violin, not joining a sorority, and not wearing frilly stuff. so after experiencing a couple of days of football practice, it dawns on me last night that this is the equivalent of the mountaineers. the kids are split up into groups with some "coach" who then teaches them the same basic drills over and over. they clap their hands and yell stuff out in response to the coach. there's an overwhelming amount of equipment to keep them safe. then to add insult to injury the kids were called over to the coach to have tape with their names on plastered to the fronts of their helmets! my son is effectively a mountie!!! but it's fun to watch my kid do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialed Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 But football is supposed to be a group / fraternal activity. Climbing mountains isn't. At least he hasn't taken up ballet. Or ice dancing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 have your kids started taking an abnormally long time to climb the stairs and do they rope up to step off the curb yet? warning signs any parent should recognize.

minx Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yeah, but all your friends would say "Damn Minx. You got a queer kid or what?" yeah but at least they wouldn't know his name.
