Food For Thought --- Treats

I say this mostly tongue in cheek, and a little put in my place (rightfully so) from my 13-year old son. A few weeks ago after a game, our head coaches sister brings a b-day cake to the end of a game and we celebrate his b-day with cake. Fun, we all joke about we have not had snacks after a game for many years. The next week a mom bakes brownies and brings them. I, jokingly, comment this is embarrassing. Again, a few of us agree (moms included) say we have not had snacks since t-ball. After learning I somewhat annoyed the husband (very good friend and fellow assistant coach) by my comment, I apologized...all better now). HERE'S MY POINT...My son says to me, "Dad why do you get embarrassed, we kids think it's great!" After thinking about it, maybe he's right, we continue to say that it is for the kids....What's wrong with snacks at 13, even on a nationally ranked team??? Kind of brings the kids back down to that youthful moment that we all remember when they were so young. They grow up too fast.

Just food for thought.
