My apologies to Dumbo
There is this parent on Jacob's football team that drives me crazy. He drives the other parents crazy. He will tell you his life story, his child's life story, how the team should be being coached, what plays they should be playing, about how it was when he played, how his son should be playing another position because he played it last year and was so good at it, but that was before he packed on over 20 pounds. Oh those pounds are his ex-wife's fault by the way...and hey he will tell you her life story and how she f'd up her son's life when she had a breakdown. It got to the point this season that a couple of us parents made up a signal to get a save when we needed it. You know when he was talking to you and you had enough. We would slick our hair back or take off our hats and slick our hair back. The other day Eddie was doing it so much he damn near rubbed off all his hair. Oh and that same day Eddie was ready to kick his ass. One of the coaches sent Jacob on the field for a play after the huddle broke and we got called for too many men on the field. This was the coaches fault but the kids and the parents went off like it was Jacob's. Mama Bear put the kids in their place the parents....some of them are no use. The man wouldn't shut up and Eddie had to walk away. Eddie refers to him as Dumbo because he's just not smart. He, as Eddie says, sounds like an idiot when he talks. I told Eddie he's 1 card short of a full deck. A friend of ours chimed in he was a suit short and Eddie informed us he is missing the deck he only has 1 card. You know now that the season is over I bet Eddie misses him....maybe i'll call him over for dinner..............
