Friday Funny
I wrote last week how my daughter’s soccer team chose the Ladybugs as their team name. They finally found a coach for my son’s team, so they get to choose a name this week, which made me giggle because I thought of the team naming ceremony from last year. This is the conversation that ensued last year when eight 5 and 6 year old boys had to choose a name for their soccer team.
Coach: OK boys - we need to choose a team name. Any ideas?
Player #1: (raising hand enthusiastically while sitting on his new blue soccer ball) I know - how about the Blue Balls!
Coach: (trying very hard not to laugh out loud) Um, maybe we should take some more suggestions. Anyone else have any ideas?
Player #2: (raising hand enthusiastically) Oh, I know I know . . . How about The Flaming Blue Balls!
At this point, Coach #1, Coach #2, and any number of the parents witnessing the exchange pretty much lose it and begin laughing hysterically.
In the end, they decided on The Volcanoes. We’ll see what they come up with this year.
