Because a child showed up for baseball practice wearing a cup on his butt and upside down, I had to send out the following email:
Just a reminder that tomorrow is our first game. Please make sure your child is in FULL uniform (hat, uniform shirt, socks, baseball pants and cleats) WITH a glove! Please also make sure your child is wearing a cup. The cup should be a youth NOT adult size. The cup should not be stuck into the underwear, but instead be put into a jock strap or other holder designed specifically to hold the cup in place. Please make sure your child’s cup is NOT on upside down. If you are not sure what upside down is, please see coach Steve. J
It’s not easy being me…..

hahaha!
This reminds me so much of work, I work at the local cricket club on the bar (Yes I know, very british of me lol) and the other day I was stood at the bar and overhead the under 15’s coach telling off one of the lads because he’d come in boxer shorts. When he asked him why he’d trned up in them yet again the lad replied that they were more comfortable. The coach then pointed out that they wouldnt be comfy if he got hit in the balls by a flying cricket bat!!!!!

OH MY!! Well at least it isn’t girls and you are having to send out “feminine hygeine” emails…although I am not sure which is worse.
And somehow while I want to believe that the kid was responsible for the upside-down-up-the-butt-underwear-cup I just don’t think that it is so.
At least he didn’t come with it on as a mask.

LMAO!
My husband would reply to your “It’s not easy being me…” with “I’m sure it’s even tougher to be Steve!” That always pisses me off even more…..

Free- That’s what my husband wanted me to do. One of the mothers on the team actually choked on her tea when she got the email.
Nemma- It only takes once….really.
Faith- It’s hard for me to keep a straight face when talking about cups. I asked all the kids before the game if their cup was on pointy side down while a bunch of the parents cracked up. lol. Oh and my husband does darth vader voice and puts it on as a mask to horrify me.
Tendrils- Bah. No one bothered to ask him. ALthough one mom asked if he would do a demonstration.

Okay. That is just sad.

Lucky- Oh you don’t even know. lol.

hey, just to be fair, I’ve heard baseball games are long. Perhaps his mom was being creative by providing a cup o’ poo receptacle?
Imagine the entertainment school age boys would have with that in their dug out , waiting to be up at bat…
Sorry, I know, so wrong.
Honestly, it only takes once for them to learn the powerful message of protection.
I used to fence a guy that would wear a cup. Tsk. Tsk. Valid target area in foil. I never played a bout without my breast cups. Cla-a-a-a-ang!

Damn, that was funny. Maybe they were protecting another region. Hemmorrhoid, perhaps?

Scout- LOL! OMFG you are dirty! oooohhhh breast cups. I think I might have to get some for sparring.
Pandemonic- I have no idea. Sigh.
