Last night at football practice it was parents vs the 10 year olds. First off the field is complete mud after hosting 5 games on Saturday during torrential down pour and another game on Monday. The kids are all in helmets, pads cleats etc. One dad had blood pouring down his face. I ended up going for a fumble(yes I fumbled it. Ball was muddy and slicker than snot). I got the ball but they just kept piling on. Two of the dads literally drug me by the feet and picked me up to get me out of it. I guess it was the painful blow to the ear that kept me from realizing at the time that the little bastards broke my ribs. Man has it been a long uncomfortable night. Playing the kids was an absolute blast though and they love seeing parents covered in mud. Last year the one mom got a broken tooth from a helmet. She sat out this year. Can't wait to do it again when my youngest moves up.
