Default For Grandparents, et al...

Advice from the coach...

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 achance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach "a
dumb ass or ****head" is it?'

The little boy shook his head 'NO'.

'GOOD', said the coach. 'Now go over there and explain all that
to your GRANDMOTHER!'
