They weren't any different from any of the other soccer teams, nor were they more select or anything. But I stupidly thought (for years) that when people said "My child is playing for the Nationals" or "My child plays for the all-stars" that it meant they were nationally ranked, or all stars or something. That just kills me. Name the team any damn thing you want, so you can brag some more, Miss Braggy McBraggerson. And when did they start making spirit wear in adult sizes anyway? Did you know that when you child makes all-stars in swimming, YOU can buy yourself a shirt and wear it to lord it over the other parents? I guess it's a good warmup for when you buy yourself that Harvard sweatshirt -- LOL!

I am hoping my little GT soccer player gets that scholarship. Lord knows, I've earned it. I can’t believe someone would bust on those of us who push our kids.

Don't forget about the dad's who almost had a "moment" in the athletic sun! They really like to further their egos through their children's successes! Don't forget the added bonus of the fathers who make good coin! You can find their sons' teams decked out in the finest uniforms money can buy, plus, they have the 'ever-important' professionally made banner! Wow, welcome to Northern Virginia!!
