When phone calls start out “so what are you doing this spring?” Yell “ABORT! ABORT!” and hang up….
<sometime yesterday>
<phone rings>
Me: Hello?
Voice on other end: Hi, it’s <name omitted>, I’m the VP of instructional baseball this year.
Me: Oh hi!
Voice on other end: <nervous laugh> Soooooo. What are you and Steve doing this spring?
Me: <laughs> Well I signed up to head coach T-Ball again and I think Steve signed up to asst. coach son #1’s team.
Voice on other end: Yeah…… about that. How do you feel about managing?
<silence>
Me: Uhhhhhh…….
Voice on other end: It’s really easy if you’re organized!
Sigh. So you’re looking at son #2’s T-Ball Manager. God help me.

The kids need parent’s like you who volunteer or get suckered in. It’s all the same. You’re still doing it for the kids!
At the end of the season, do they dump a thing of gatorade over you?

I just felt a collective shudder in the force. Like thousands of T-ball hopes for a successful season all died at once.

Beau- Sigh. I’m ALWAYS the parent who volunteers.
Hell no. I gave up the gatorade dumping and tossing in the pool fully clothed years ago.
Bice- HEY! The kids had a great season last year with me coaching. *MY* team knew where to run, throw the ball and I had a third of the team that could throw from first to home. My kids knew what they were doing! ;P

Tina- When it comes to things for the kids, No I don’t know how to say no. Sigh.
Fab- I’m, uh….washing my hair. ;P
