What Kind of Mother…?

Allows, even drives their child to, pays for AND sits and watches while they get this kind of abuse?

Yes, folks, it’s football season again.  I’m taking a break from the summer recap to jump into the season.  It’s been 5 years since we’ve had a kid in his first year of football and I have to say, I’d forgotten about the bruising they take.  It occurred to me that I haven’t seen this on Justin or Tyler for a few years, although I do remember some doozies.  I asked them why they thought that was and interestingly, they had the same response:

“Mom, now we GIVE the bruises!”

(insert implied “DUH!” here)

Bryce has actually been quite pleased with his bruises and wears sleeveless shirts at every opportunity.  I thought the orthodontist might report me to Child Protective Services after a recent visit, but no call yet.  Oh wait, is that the doorbell?

Dear son, I beg to difffer, please don't be libelous. You did conclude that your body must get used to it AFTER first asserting your bruiser status. There is no need to make stuff up when life hands me the material. Regardless, you'll never be able to touch my superior sentence structure and format.

I don't remember ever saying that...also I don't need "superior" sentence structure when my posts just have much more entertaining material.

Try justifying your child getting into a cage... at least football has pads and helmets... I allow my child to fight. Sometimes i wonder what I am thinking...
