So, I have to say the best part was Big Korey and I spending the time together, making jokes at their expense...we really had some great ones. I was just on that day, one good one after another. (Side note here: Korey had gotten into an accident that day with the police car, and he was in a bad mood, or sad mood, but since he is always telling me that the is a professional driver when I think he is driving like a nut, I took this opportunity to really let him have it, not mean mind you, just "good ones". So, our friend that was supposed to do a ride along with him, well, I told him it may just actually be a walk along, because they took away his police car.) Now, back to the game....so lil Korey really is embarrassed by us. I guess this happens around this time in a teens life. No matter how cool we know we actually are or how many times we tell him how cool we are, we are just an embarrassment. So, we know that lil K talks a lot of "smack" or junk what ever todays lingo may be. He thinks that he is all that and a bag of chips (these sort of one liners is the reason he is embarrassed by us.)Well, the truth is, right now he is just the crumbs at the bottom of the bag. So we waved to him, ya know we wanted him to know we were there to root his team on. He could hardly wave back!! Like he was too embarrassed to wave to US? So, I said, "he is embarrassed? Heck I don't want to even acknowledge that he is even my son at this point...." OK, you really had to be there, because Big K and I were laughing and laughing, and really going on and on to each other at how funny we were. It was knee slapping funny! So, I guess, we are supposed to be the grown adults here rooting on our wonderful son, and he is, just not at football...we digressed back to our high school days and it was fun.
Now, today's game was a whole other story. They actually looked like a team PLAYING football! What a few days makes! Korey was out there, and not looking like an oompa loompa thinking about doing his job on the field, he did his job. And he did it well. I just wish I would have had my camera fixed so I can get action shots again....just as long as they keep the action coming.
(I am a good mom, right, even if I like to make fun of my son, in a loving way of course.)

heck ya, you are a great mom. If you can't make fun of your own kid out there then who else are you going to??
I think it is healthy to make fun of anything, all in good humor and not mean. We poke fun at our kids with them and let them know we are joking but it lets them be able to laugh at their own mistakes too. That way they can just laugh off the little stuff or laugh at themselves when others would be mortified.
laughter is what gets us through some of the most embarrassing moments.
I am the same way, i don't smooze with the other mama's.... probably because I am making fun of their kids. LOL
Oh! My! You two are so funny. It sure does make me miss the good old days with you guys. It's good that you let your kids know that your still you and that's what matters. Know matter how embarrassed they are of you.
