It is really surreal to hear George Carlin, of seven dirty words fame, narrating children’s morality tales over the kid monitor…

lol

via the monitor:

Hubs just made the mistake of asking which train engine is which. The train genealogy is still going on. It doesn’t help that the grandson knocked out his two front baby teeth on a coffee table while racing around HIS (not our) house. Enunciation is murky.

Playing the team where the benches cleared last weekend in about 10 mins.

Anyone know any bail bond people in Little Rock. Literally, had an opposing parent walk down our sideline and ask"Will the parent of the red head please tell your kid to control himself"

This was 15 mins before the game

Wife blurted out "He will control himself when you learn to control yourself at the buffet line"

To be fair, the other team was warming up on their side of the field and they kicked a ball over to our side and son kicked it down towards the Arkansas River.

In no ways is son an innocent here.

It goes back to last week. Both teams had been chirping for a while. About 4 mins to go last week, son had a hard (but legal) challenge right in front of their bench. Their kid shoved son, son pushed back and they had a couple of kids leave from bench to push back.

Today, they had a player get into a shoving yelling match with one of our players 30 mins before the game. A couple mins later is when they sent ball to our side and son kicked it towards river. They have had 2 parents tell 2 separate players on our team to learn how to act

7 mins in: Opposing team is already down a man and a goal. Slide tackle from behind in the box (red card).

Son drew the penalty in the box. Another player (the striker) took and converted the PK.

It's 2-0 now. Son's team just scored on free kick after a foul (non PK). Son drew that foul as well (Probably a little bit of acting there). The midfielder converted the free kick.

4 yellows issued so far (2 for each team) plus the straight red.

😎

Sometimes I miss throwing red cards. I don’t know that I ever tossed a player, but I sure sent a lot of parents to the parking lot.

(I’d warn the coach first, advising to send parents to an empty field with a spare ball to work out their frustrations there.)

(All this was after my daughters asked me to stop embarrassing them at games. 🤪)

Ref just warned their parents about yelling at opposing players. Son's team up 4-0. After son's team failed attempt on a corner, opposing team tried counterattack. They passed ball well up the field and son (who had moved back to center defender) cleared the ball out of bounds right into opposing parents sitting on sideline (Clearing it was the correct play given the numbers but he could have cleared it a little softer). They had a parent come onto the field to try to yell at son and another player. Ref just kicked that parent out and another one who cussed at him.

Son's coach just pulled son from game for rest and likely an attempt to diffuse situation.

I’m trying to imagine your coach’s life. Your son must be the human equivalent of plastic explosives.

The wildest kids I ever coached were a pair of ADHD identical twin boys on a coed middle school-aged team. Since there was no chance whatsoever that they would remember any coaching during a game (and they sure as hell wouldn’t remember how to work the offside rule), I just made them left and right midfielders and let them run all over the place. I still owe apologies to my center mid, who had to try to direct them on the field. He later played QB in Murican football.

4-0. Son didn't play at all second half. Championship game starts in 34 mins.

Wife got to enjoy AC a little early. Opposing team got a 2nd red (the kid whose parents made the comment earlier). She yelled "control your kid" and she got sent off. Their coach pulled their team about 12 mind early and they quit.

I am going to have to treasure the bolded above for use in the future (probably on me.) Daughter who is mother of grandson and grandson-to-be played college soccer in goal, plus on field and in goal in adult co-ed, so I am looking forward to watching another generation play, starting with building sand forts in the goal as balls sail overhead. ⚽️🥅⚽️

The shocking thing, in a game with 9 yellows, a straight red, 4 parents getting sent to enjoy the AC, multiple pregame altercations, the son did not get a yellow or commit a foul all game...

Still a year(?) early, but if he moves on to college, let us know. I look forward to watching him play.

He knew he was in their heads so he just kept smug look and let them implode.

He got 2 fouls in first 90 seconds this game. His team is likely way outmatched here.
