Say what?

Did you see the latest research that the reason one third of kids are obese is that THE PARKS ARE NOT CLOSE ENOUGH AND THEY HAVE NO WHERE TO PLAY!!!!??? I don’t buy it!

When we were kids we went out and played all the time. Kickball, bikes, just running through the woods. You name it, we were there. We figured out how to play in small yards and corner lots. Some say the real reason is because we had nothing else to do back then OTHER than to go out and play. There weren’t 500 channels, Xboxes, PS anythings and the internet. Nowadays, why leave the house when the whole world is right there on a screen in front of your face!

A Monday Chuckle


My kids never had any of the GOOD stuff! I saw this ad today for Huggies new diapers that look like jeans! However, they're kind of pricey. $20 will get you a pack of the jiapers (get it?), which is a little much for something that you can go through in a few days. Also, one user complained that the blue dye rubbed off on their baby's legs. Not cute!

Say what?



Here's one for ya....

I'm coaching a baseball game this past weekend (10 to 12 year olds) and our catcher is having a tough time. A few passed balls. The umpire says to him, and YES I heard him clearly, "If you had caught that one I would have called it a strike." Excuse ME? I thought it was a strike depending on where it crossed the plate! And no it was not a "dropped third strike" we don't have that at this level.

This game will never cease to amaze me.

Enjoy the nice weather!
