There has been a lot of this going on lately. The Boo-Bear is number 31. She is hilarious to watch playing volleyball. Oh my gosh is she funny. In between hitting the ball she kinda forgets to focus and dances or waves to friends or waves to me. When we have home games parents are asked to be line judges. This means you are in charge of telling the Ref if balls are in or out and if someone steps on the line you tell on them. I've been a line judge twice. The first time I got booed. No problem. I can take it. Well not really, but my daughter took such major umbrage at someone daring to disagree with a call I made that the boo-er decided to head to greener pastures.
I signed up for a second time cause the line judge on duty didn't show up for that night and guess what?? We got flags!!! Really pretty twirly flags to hold up all official like if someone stepped on the line when they served the ball. Guess what you shouldn't be doing if the ball is in play and you are in charge of saying whether it's in or out?? Twirling your new pretty flag. And why is this?? Because when the game stops and two really mean dads are screaming at you that the ball was in the Ref will have you walk over to discuss if the ball hit the pole or not. And how do you explain that you were blinded by the Love of Your New Twirly Flag and weren't really paying attention?? Not that I did that by the way. I'm just using this as an example of what not to do. heh. Note to the two really mean screamy dad persons: When you yelled I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my Red Twirly Flag!
This is a blurry picture of my girl right before she started singing to herself. Wonder where she gets it from??? Must be from her fathers side of the family. heeheehee
And this?? This my friends is called "Serving with Flair" Not everyone can do this mind you. Try not to be jealous.
Okay, I gotta go and be productive.
Peace out me' Hermanosssss!!

I love volleyball, played it all through high school. I can't get my child fired up about it, though. Sigh.
Hilarious post - as always! Sounds like my life at the moment. I have two girls playing volleyball - a 14 year old and a 12 year old - and my husband is coaching the older one - his age varies! Don't you just love the parents who yell about the calls. I keep threatening to carry a huge sign with me that says. 'THIS IS A KID'S GAME - GET A GRIP!' I'd love to just pull it out and wave it - like the Roadrunner in the old cartoons - when one of those knuckleheads gets started. Your daughter gets it - she's having a blast - and looking good doing it!! You and the other line judge parent should come up with a little flag-waving routine for timeouts - that would be awesome! Have fun - and thanks for the laughs! Piece...
I admire your restraint. I would have done something much more illegal with that twirly flag when I heard the screamy dads. :)
