At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside
And asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"
"Yes, coach", replied the little boy. "
Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue,
curse the umpire or call him an asshole. Do you understand all that?"
Once more, the small boy nodded in agreement.
The coach continued, "And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a chance to play,
it's not a dumb-ass decision or that the coach is a shithead is it?"
"No, coach."
"Good", said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.”
Grandma wasn't raised in a convent.
ReplyDeleteedutcher, a grandmother that speaks her mind.
DeleteHeh. Along the lines of “that’s why your mom has fresh breath…”
ReplyDeleteAnon, uh ... OK.
DeleteI don't know, I think grandma knows best.
ReplyDeleteNow my grandmother never said a bad word but she surprised me one day. I was moping around and sad because a girl broke up with me. She said to me, "Just remember, the sun don't shine on the same dog's asshole all the time." It cheered me up because I never expected that to come from my grandmother.
Edward, being married to a grandmother, nothing surprises me anymore.
DeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a blessed day. Be safe.
