Just when I thought I was soooo mature...
Tonight I got a babysitter so I could go to Jared's city league basketball game. They won by over 20 points. The other team was much younger and in way better shape, but they didn't have a whole lot of skills. Anyway, I was sitting there minding my own and one of the wives from the other team was piping off. If you haven't ever played an organized game of basketball, I don't think you should be able to make ANY comments. The refs weren't great, but they did a good job for city league. They missed a few calls and made a few questionables, but they didn't alter the outcome of the game. Both teams were hacking, and this wife was making these comments like it was all Jared's team, saying "someone is going to get hurt, this is so stupid". I wanted to say "Are you watching the same game I am?" Then one time Damien (Jared's friend) took the ball to the basket very aggressively and he was bumped here and there, and gave a bump here and there, and he scored, good play. She was appalled that he wasn't called for an offensive foul. Obviously she's never taken a player to the basket and scored on them... So, I yelled "Good play Damien" and she yells "Oh yeah, good play". What, am I like in 3rd grade? I was so mad, I really wanted to make some smart comment like if you haven't played ball since 7th grade C squad you should keep your mouth shut, but I held my tongue and didn't make any more comments and then just complained to Jared after the game. I thought I was more mature than to let some 23 year old girl get under my skin, but apparently not...Oh the drama of City League.

That is soooooooo funny Jess!
I love it! I would have totally said something for you if I was sitting next to you. You know I can never keep my mouth shut. I am missing out on watching Scott in those city league games big time. My advice to you is to say something next time. You'll feel better about it.
I'm with Camille, sooooooo funny. Sweet comeback in your brain about 7th grade C squad. You should have said it OUT loud! I'm in a stupid city league right now - we're horrible and I was getting so fired up that I pushed a girl right in her chest. Can you believe that?? just call me "Freeze"
that's funny. my mom never played a sport in her entire life... and she used to make dumb comments like that too. 8 kids and a million basketball games later, she is finally cured. maybe there is hope for this woman too someday! and niki... i can't believe you did that;)
Jess I am impressed you held your tongue it does get rather bothersome when people act that way, and it is amazing how it can ruffle the feathers. Good job at being the better woman!
Hey Jess!!! How kids grow. The pictures of your kids are adorable!!! I swear I have never seen four kids who look so much like their Mom AND their Dad!
Oh and by the way, I would never question your maturity. At least you can say, "She started it!"
You are hillarious. I should have known you were having a blogfest, now I got to get caught up! Why didn't you challenge her to a shoot out or something? You would TOTALLY win!
I don't get it. But then again I haven't played ball since the 7th grade c squad. :) I think sometimes I embarassed Jackie at the games yelling around like I do. It almost made it more fun, Ike starts saying it all in German (I am too chicken to do that though). I was at a game recently and there was another american rooting for his daughter on the otherside....the ref made some cruddy call, and he goes" Great call Ref!" And I just looked over at him and said "Oh, give me a break! You know that was garbage!" He started laughing, and we just kind of taunted eachother for the rest of the game at the refs expense. He was a funny guy. Stick it to her next time Jess!!!!
