A Must read for Grandparents

(Those who aren't will love it, too.)




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, dickhead or asshole. Do you

understand all that? '

The little boy nodded 'yes' again.

He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so

another boy gets a chance to play too, it's not good

sportsmanship to call your coach "a dumb ass or

shithead" is it?'

The little boy shook his head 'NO'.

'GOOD', said the coach . . .

'Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother!'
