| Soccer Mom
At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 7-year-
old soccer 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 a foul is called, you shouldn't argue,
curse, attack the referee, or call him a pecker-head. Do you
understand all that?"
Again the little boy nodded.
He continued,
"And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a
chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach
'a dumb ' is it?''
Again the little boy nodded.
"Good," said the coach.
"Now go over there and explain all that to your mother."
