Easy girl, down girl, whoaaaa!!

The Momma tiger is coming out, so watch out. So, tonight Hunter had a makeup basketball game. Long story but Saturday's game was rescheduled for tonight at 8 PM. That sucks. Considering, I'm a single parent right now. So, I got my lovely babysitter Kelsey to come over and watch the kids and put them to bed. All was going well. Hunter's game was very close they were winning/losing back and forth the whole game. Hunter's team has some good ol' Texas rednecks on it, well the parents anyway. There are 2 refs that kind of stink, and we had them tonight. At one point, the dude in charge of this league told our coach that OUR parents needed to chill out. I was just smiling sitting there amused at the Dad sitting by me yelling at his poor son (who was on the other team)"to get movin", and "to act alive, son". Whatever. I should have been paying attention to the dude that was talking/yelling at my own son. This fat, bald jerk was sitting on the other side of the gym. He yelled at Hunter a couple of times to "make better shooting choices" and he told Hunter at one point "he wasn't dribbling good tonight and needed to practice his dribbling skills". EXCUSE ME. Are you my son's coach... I don't think so. Hunter may or may not have been having an off game, he is a hustler on the court and usually is a little star out there...so grrrr. I'm so annoyed right now. He didn't tell me this until we were in the parking lot, in the car. I so will confront this lame-o next time I have the chance. And his son...chubby little kids that does nothing out there. Hello, try coaching your own son, not mine!!
**still no spellcheck.

oh honey, no! that's what you say when you get in his face & wave your finger all about. 1) i went to hunter's game in december. he's definitely one of the best players on the team. 2)you tell that fathead texan to watch out - cause this auntie from chicago will hunt him down & give him a piece of her mind. and he best not be wanting none of that!

Thanks for letting me vent. I had to play it pretty cool with Hunter. Really, I wanted to hunt that guy down and run him over...KIDDING.

Mom said...

You just don't fool around with moms. That is something I never liked about kids games, when parents bad mouth not only their own but the others on the team. Afterall why do we let our kids play sports --to teach them self confidence and how to play/get along with others.

Oh, Heather -- I'd have been right ther with you!! You can mess with ME all you want but don't come near my kids (and now my grandkids too!). That man needed to be told to SHUT UP!

beat him down heather. with something sharp.
seriously. even IF hunter was having an off game (which I'm sure he wasn't), what gives him the right? I hate what sports do to rational people. hate it.

Jori said...

Ew! That is so annoying! How do people have the nerve to talk to somebody's child like that? You get those claws right out and let him have it!

Well. I plan to publically degrade my boys if they have an off game. But I promise to never yell at anyone else's kids.

Don't forget to give him the old turkey neck as your waving your finger in his face and giving him a piece of your mind!

Dad said...

Good thing this bald guy wasn't there, I'm a trained killer (Sempe Fi) and I'd a thrown the old "naked stangle hold" on that old fat Texas farthead and made him beg for forgiveness.
