I received this from a mother who reads the site regularly and thought I’d share it with you. Especially appropriate with the start of the Girls High School season this evening. I’ll be at Catholic which is hosting Nixa!
A mother is making a breakfast with fried eggs for her teenage son. Suddenly the boy bursts into the kitchen. He screams
“Careful! CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my goodness! You’re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They’re going to STICK! Careful! … CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you’re cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don’t forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!”
The mother stared at him. “What’s wrong with you? You think I don’t know how to fry a couple of eggs?”
The son calmly replied, “I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I’m trying to play soccer.”
i LOVED IT.
I still have the ringing in my ears from the U9 Girls and U11 Boys parents from the St. Pat’s Tournament this past weekend. Congrats to all the teams for playing thru the tough weather conditioins.
