As much as I hate to admit it this could possibly be Cheryl and I.

In a bit of a hurry and can't say much so will post this joke a good friend sent me.
What makes it more realistic to me is that I see this at about every game I take the kids to.

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?"

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"

The little boy nodded yes.

"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head. Do you understand all that?"

Again the little boy nodded.

He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb ass' is it?"

Again the little boy nodded.

"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother".


Have a nice day everyone.

Ah, Timmy boy, I see I've been terribly remiss in my reading here (as well as at a few other of my favorite blogs). I'm afraid I've gotten so caught up with other "stuff" both in BlogVille and the Real World. This will just never do! I may have to tell my church that I can no longer do any of my volunteer jobs and see if I can find someone to come clean my house, etc. so I can spend more time online.... LMAO.

Seriously though, I will smarten up and come visit you more often. I have a lot of reading to catch up on here, as you have on my blog. It was nice to read you're comment there. Thanks for stopping by.

I hope all is well with you and Cheryl, and your loved ones. Keep well and come visit me more often.

lol that joke was a good one!

I did not mention it on my blog, but I have been asked to be an arbitrator by my stake director. :)

I wasn't sure I did enough batches, I guess I do!

Have a good day.
