One of my Better Moments
I'm being sarcastic, of course.
Actually until about 4:30 p.m. Sunday it was a great weekend. Ky's team took 1st place in the Waterloo tournament. She pitched a no-hitter on Saturday and we just all had a lot of fun. Til 4:30 Sunday. Let me just say that sometimes my brain must shut down and let primal instinct take over 'cuz out of the blue, I kick into crazy soccer-mom (or softball I guess in this case) mode.
It was 90 + degrees, hot, windy and shadeless for our last game. The girls were troopers and played well. After the game they handed out the trophies and then, as usual, the girls and coaches lined up for pictures. One of the girls was screwing around and the cute 34 year old coach who likely was also hot and tired of being on the shadeless field w/a bunch of preadolescent girls said to the girl that was screwing around, "Jeez, M******, are ya retarded?" It was then that her whiney, holier than thou mother had a minor seizure, ran over to her husband and told him that he needed to handle this and essentially ran to the car bitching to other parents the whole way. The dad then went to talk to the coach with the buck-toothed little brat standing right there. Being the mature (cough, cough) mother I am, I followed her bitching to the parents about holier than thou parents who have no sense of humor---two crazy, heat battered moms. What a picture!
Why did this upset me? My reasonable mind has trouble with figuring that one out. First of all, I talk alot about the cute coach, but he's a big boy and certainly was capable of handling the consequences of his words. Moreso, I think it was because I hate hypersensitivity---first of all, we all know the guy. Heck they were all drinking w/him the night before (one other mom and I were the only two completely sober by the end of the night). He's glib. Any parent with a brain would have known he didn't really mean it (she's just ugly, clearly not retarded). I also hate women that rely on men to handle their stuff and I'm just always a bit bugged by her pompous, know it all, perfect mom attitude. But who knows, maybe it was just the heat.
