Comments on: Having a ball (which, I’m sure you’ll agree, seems much more wholesome than my first two choices: ‘Balls’ and ‘My kid’s got balls’)

I’m going to be honest here… I hated watching T-ball… my son is only 7 but we’ve moved up to Coach pitch… a lot better!!! lol!

But your a saint for coaching. My guy coached also… It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it! lol!

your son is fortunate to have a Daddy that helps him play baseball! Enjoyed the pictures.

And you should be grateful. All I know is that my dad didn’t play baseball with me, and next time I see him, I am going to ask him why the hell he didn’t!

My husband, Chuck, says the same thing. Our son isn’t old enough for baseball, but when he is it’s on the top of the father-son to-do list. My husband’s dad didn’t interact with him much as a kid, so Chuck’s in his glory to have a son.

What’s your family rule on WW laughing at the ball fields? Is it against the rules for her to laugh when she knows you’re pulling this shiz out of your ass? I need to know before my husband tries to coach our daughter in soccer in another year or so. I’m just thinking that I won’t be able to stiffle my giggles from the sidelines & I would hate to have kiddy soccer land us in divorce court.

Also, is is frowned upon to spike your coke on the way to the fields?

I love your t-ball stories! hehe We are in our 4th season of hubby coaching our youngest’ soccer team – and before this the closest he has ever come to playing sports was NBA on the Xbox! I know if he were reading this he would TOTALLY understand your pain and the joy of hearing, “My Dad is the best coach EVER!”

Last night he came home after practice thrilled because for the 1st time he saw the bottom of our daughter’s feet while she was running (she tends to ‘toddler jog’ instead of really run) – it was so fun to see them both excited about the little ‘wins.’
