Everyone's a critic

Needs a little more Wah for his Wah-Wah. #boys

He may have a little too much wah in his wah-wah.

What I learned in one hour ...

in my new role as a soccer mom ....

Kindergarteners follow each other around like a flock of geese ...

totally in his element

Even when the ball is nowhere in sight.

Third graders, on the other hand, look more like the Maytag Repairman.

ME: *Thinking there's always next week for recycling* Sure. I'll help.



*later on that evening*

CHAMP: *Plaintively* "Daddy bended my cardboard what I was using for my bat cave."

HIM: "What?!!! That is MY cardboard.

ME: "Well, actually ... he was the one who saved it from the recycling. ...

Tinder and tentacles

Didn't look back.
