kids: best (cute) birth control ever!
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
Spent part of this afternoon helping to coach youth rugby for the first time.
Personally, I thought it would be easy and the kids would be adorable since the age range is 6-13.
It was certainly something. I haven't really had to deal with kids in the past few years and boy, do I feel out of practice. Also, teaching a bunch of kids how to do anything.......its like herding cats. There's no other way to explain it. Herding a bunch of ADD kittens.
It was interesting, it was funny. It was also a little frustrating. Especially when I got thrown in to loosely ref a quick 4-on-4 touch thing with kids who range from pretty good to devastatingly bad in a facepalm way. Also, 6-13 is actually a pretty large age range AND body size range. It was kinda frustrating but hilarious.
Why am I doing this when I have to finish writing?
While the baby fest my peers have been participating in have apparently been giving me the warm and fuzzy "I kinda want one, maybe" nesting feelings, an afternoon with a bunch of snarky little boys has effectively dampened it to a manageable level of "awww. how cute. lemme pet it and then you can take it away."
I guess everything has a purpose, huh?
