Lord aint that the truth!
I'm still the only coach I know that has been kicked out of a T-Ball game for kickin' sand on the ump!
Gotta tell this story about how stupid things have gotten to be vis a vis kids.
I happened to be in a small room in a church that, during business hours, is used as a place to change diapers on babies. (To answer the inevitable question, I was practicing my bass trombone in that room. There were NO stinky diapers, there were NO kids, there were NO caretakers. I was alone with my axe and my music.)
Anyway, I happened to look up on the wall and, taped to the wall was a document that was entitled: "How to Change a Diaper" or some such silly-assed shit.
Being repulsed, but otherwise curious (sorta like rubbernecking at an auto accident), I read further.
Part of this procedure actually required the caretaker to
inform the kid that his/her diaper was going to be changed. As though to ask permission or some stupid-assed thing.
WTF? You have to TELL an infant that you're gonna change their shitty diaper????
Unbelievable as to the amount of coddling that goes on.
