It's September, which means it's time for Fall Ball. Fall Ball around here usually means some of this
 |
| WD being pursued in a hard driving rain. |
and some of this,
 |
| SB at soccer practice |
or even catching some late season baseball,
but it used to mean some of this.
 |
| WD playing QB. |
WD stopped playing football a couple of years ago, but many of his teammates from his youth football years still play. He's been friends with many of them, like The Tank, since he was 7 yrs old. The two of them were on the same football team for 6 yrs together.
Now the Tank is a freshman, and plays first string defensive tackle on the JV team. We of course had to go out and support him for his first high school game. He faced double and triple teams all day, but still managed to notch several great tackles.
It was a beautiful day, and the boys had a great time cheering on their friends. I had a great time, too, with one small exception. I happened to notice a girl wearing this t-shirt. WTF?
I can't understand how any parent could allow their child(and she was a child) to wear a shirt like that, much less at a school function. I don't think it's appropriate for a 15 yr old, or really anyone at all. (Okay, it might be funny on a 40yr old man at an adult party.) Where do you even buy a shirt like that? Strippers R Us? While it's always a possibility that the girl snuck out wearing something else over the top of the shirt, the reality is that her mom was at the game, and she continually walked back and forth between her mom and her friends. So what do you think? Am I overreacting? Is this just how it is? Are things like this sold in the girls' department, and I just don't realize it, because I'm outfitting boys?
Thanks for popping in and listening to my rant.
