Who is this kid? (Friday Funny)
Hey ladies,
I have 2 minutes and thought I would post this for you all. Our son is 7 and he is participating in his first year of hockey. He's just old enough to be in the Mites division, which includes 7-9 year olds. Being his first year, he's definitely the one who has the most room to improve, if you know what I mean (seriously, some of these kids must have been born with skates on...). Anyway, he is going through evaluations right now, so we are at the rink on Wednesday night and there are probably 100 or so kids there. All the sudden we notice a child trying to get other kids to fall with his stick. Then we realized that's not just any child, that's OUR child. Yep, my kid! Then DH tells me that when he picked him up after school, he said he was going to do this, and DH promptly told him that is not ok, it's dangerous and he better not mess around. So then a kid hits my kid (I'm sure he told him to stop, and my child probably said no.) Seriously, who is this kid getting into fights and trying to make people fall?!?!? I was mortified to say the least, thank goodness you couldn't identify which child belonged with which parent. I just had his parent-teacher conference and his teacher was going on and on about what a sweet boy he is, and how the girls love him, and how he's so kind and considerate...which is the boy we know. Tomorrow will be the test, he has another evaluation sesssion- he's been warned that anymore of that business and we will not be returning. Good greif!

Hmm... it is hockey!!!!
Kidding, totally kidding. Kids are so hard to figure out :-)
But it's hockey mom :P Maybe he does think it's ok because it's hockey, or it just happens to be his release area? I hope he straightens up because I don't foresee being pulled out of the sport making him fun to deal with
P.S. All of my Nesties need to make their children stop growing - I can't believe T is 7!!!!
I can't believe he's 7 either!!
He was on his best behavior this weekend at the rink- hopefully it was an isolated event. Instead of fooling around, he actually paid attention and I think he was suprised how good he can be when he focuses. DH took him to the ND games this weekend and he realized that the stick in the skates is not nice (in his division, they don't check each other or anything.)
