It was a good night tonight…we went to the boys basketball game, one of the best peoplewatching places on campus! Can you say intense?
We’ve given all of the players nicknames, some of which would be way too easy to identify, but others as silly as “Mellow Yellow,” and “Good Luck.” But our absolute favorite of them all, is the coach. His face, you just have to see it! He looks like he’s angry all the time, even when our team has just scored a basket, pushing them ahead by 18 points! Maybe I’ll bring a camera next time…
We sit with the parents, because there we can find out so much more about the players. We know whose parents are who, and laugh when moms won’t sit with their husbands because they are too embarrassed about how loud they are. The one dad screams at players on the other team, calling them by their full names, and makes up nicknames for the refs. Tonight he was upset with “Babyface” for “not calling it both ways!” There’s a little old man, who we’ve nicknamed “Ernie.” He’s nobody’s parent, just likes to come and cheer on the team…pretty cute if you ask me!
We ended up winning, but not after a few close calls, and a LOT of yelling from the coach!
