It's the worst kept secret in the world.... JH basketball... particularly 7th and 8th graders are the worst. They're easily distracted. They talk back. They challenge your authority. And they ask "Why" in everything you say (or don't say).
Head Coach Mike was busy today so I had to run practice. What a Pain in the Neck.... I felt like laying the smack down on half the girls for their attention span or insouciance. I even ripped into one of them (NN, no less).
Then.... I bump into Dorcas. She goes to our church and has a child in 12th grade. We got to talking and my words were, "I get a chance to see my daughters' friends. I get to hang out with someone who might ignore me for the next 5 years. For all the pain and agony... it's all worth it."
And indeed... it truly is.
