Last week I found this wonderful blog, Once upon a Miracle, she is brilliant and does a blog called True Story Tuesdays. Here I am again, This week I had struggled with what to tell...and then Saturday baseball happened. So I will start this today with a joke (trust me it fits) --What is the difference between a Northern fairytale and a Southern fairytale.. Northern Fairytales begin "Once upon a Time" and Southern fairytales begin "Ya all ain't gonna believe this sh*t"
Forgive me for the crass ending.. but I have to tell you this week, my husband and I are the Southern fairytale. We were sitting waiting for AJ's game to begin, watching the scenes and exchanging words with his coach (who I adore). We were talking about how AJ used to play ball in Hampton and that we were not particularly fond of his coach (trust me.. what was said was not as clean as that.. in reality it was much more colorful. So here we are sitting eating lunch and Chuck says "The Ump looks like Dave" (btw he's the evil coach) I reply "No way" So Chuck in his infinite man wisdom yells "Dave" and he turns around. Ya all... there was our "ya all ain't gonna believe this sh*t" moment! Right away my mind says "oh crap! he's gonna spend the day striking out my kid!!" btw he never even heard us he was over by the other team but still! So we exchange pleasantries (I can fake it real good.. ask my ex husband.. oops sorry!) and I point out AJ on first base, he goes "oh hey"
So he heads back to behind the plate and I zip over to see Billy (Good coach) and tell him he starts to laugh and he replies "no sh*t" (yea we are just not good people in the language department.. but in my defense I am married to a sailor). I laugh and head back over to sit with Chuck, AJ comes by and Chuck tells him and he is just stunned (I am sure he said it too.. he's 15 and he has diarrhea of the mouth as well).. we go sit down watch a rough game (they lost 7-1 and he struck out twice.. but my moment in the sun? Oh AJ played beautifully at first base and I know Dave was thinking "well holy sh*t look how good he is" Cause in my mind he was saying it too :o)~
Until next time..... :o)~

Hahahaha- don't you HATE IT when those things happen?! Too funny.
LMAO - that's a great story. Love the southern and northern fairy tale line, I've never heard that before. I plan to go home and share it with my husband tonight. ;) Although your story also makes me want to sing it's a small world after all...
Oh that is so funny, there's alot of baseball talk today!
Glad AJ played well - good or him -
Ok, after that joke - I know I truly belong in the South! And that sounds like one of those "only my family" kind of stories. We end up doing stuff like that all the time. Glad the kiddo had a good defensive game!
Wow - what are the chances?? "I can fake it real good.. ask my ex husband" - LMAO!
Yep that old foot in mouth disease will get you every time.....
loved the comment about the ex hubby... ROFL...
Man, that's why I always say those things in sign language! :) Doesn't it always seem like the wrong people are hanging around when you talk about them?
Glad your boy had a good defensive game too!
