Why Exercise is Bad
It's little league time again, and they should have some kind of spring training camp for us parents. We are the ones that need to get in shape. We should have spa's, and hot tubs, massage therapy, and some kind of chef preparing us a gorgeous tasting meal while our coach explains to us how to be good parents of little leaguers.
I wasn't going to help the first night, but by the second night I could tell the coach was in trouble. I volunteered to "do what I could". He sent me to the outfield to practice throwing (over and over with no breaks I might add) grounders to the kids who weren't having batting practices. Well my kids started out in a nice neat line, but after a couple of turns they were tackling each other for the ball. "Hey you guys!" I hollered. "You're making me look bad." Which was true. All the other helpers had their kids in perfect lines, in perfect form, doing their exercises perfectly. I got demoted to throwing "flyballs". Then the last insult came when they needed a catcher. "Could you help us out?" They asked. "Well... alright." I wondered if I was wearing one of those 'stupid people signs'.
I was so sore when I got home, and my contacts hurt my eyes from squinting in the sun. I put some eye drops in, only they weren't the eye drops. It was the lens cleaner. I must be wearing a sign.
I hurt so bad, I rubbed some icy hot on my sore shoulder, but because of my eyes I put the icy hot in the toothpaste drawer. And when my wife brushed her teeth... well, she said she wanted to try a new toothpaste anyway.
