Soccer, soccer and more soccer!


A mother was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her teenage son. Suddenly the boy bursts into the kitchen.
"Careful! CAREFUL!! Put in some more butter! Oh my goodness!
You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW!!
We need more buttter. Good grief! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK!
Careful.......CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL!
You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never!! Turn them! Hurry up!
What are you doing? Are you CRAZY?!?
Have you lost your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!!!"
The mother stared at him. "What's wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"
The son calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm trying to play soccer."
We're leaving for Texas with Josh's soccer team for a tournament. (roll the orchestra background music here.)
I do solemnly vow to sit quietly on the sidelines sipping my Dasani water, eating peel-n-eat strawberry licorice. I hereby declare I will not comment, question or disclaim any calls made by the referees. Theretofor, I will bite my tongue and/or walk on hot coals before I let loose with any mean-spirited comments that might want to come flying out of my mouth if my sweet baby boy gets taken down from behind by another sweet little boy on the other team.
Don't hold me to any of this.
Laura............how does a road trip sound??? I'll share my licorice with you!
Celtic 96 Rocks!
