“He’s not the Messiah – he’s a very naughty boy.” Monty Python: The Life of Brian

I called Rader today. “Wanna go to the pool this afternoon or go play soccer after work?”

R: Play soccer with who?

Me: With me.

R: You?

Me: Yes. Me.

R: But you don’t play soccer.

Me: Sigh. Rader, I coached your team for the last 4 years. I can kick the ball around with you.

R: Yeah. But you’re not very good. Our team sucked.

Boy, that just makes a mom proud. Can you feel the love? Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Just for the record…the team only sucked 3 out of the 4 years I coached…
