Jamie's Second Summer Basketball Game

Yesterday Dad and I(Mom was being a kid at a candy shop at the Home School Convention)went to Jamie's basketball game against The Hurricanes. Dad brought two metal chairs instead of camp chairs to sit in. I ended up not using mine because it wasn't very comfortable,so I just sat on the gym floor and watched. Since Mom wasn't there she made Dad and I take pictures of the game for her(since that is normally what she does during the games). As I started clicking away,once again jamming to some Relient K,Barlow Girl and a variety of songs from my old youth pastors cds he used to make and give out on occasion called John's Jams. On to the important part:the game. The team they were set against wasn't as brutal as the last one they played and the referees did a much better job than the last two we had. Jamie came pretty close to rebanging his already banged up arm,but luckily he didn't. Some where in the first half one of the opposing teams parents asked if she could use the extra chair I wasn't using,and we said "sure"(there is a reason for me mentioning this..eventually). Jamie's teammate,Nathanial who struggled shooting foul shots last game,finally was able to sink in the basket for two foul shots. He was surprised the first one went in but he looked shocked the second one did. Anyway so the end of the game the Mom from the other team came up and returned our chair and was distressed that "She took my chair". She thought it was "one of the schools" etc and so forth......we explained that it was really no problem and that I wanted to sit on the ground. I find it incredibly funny that she would be worried about little,old young me needing a chair,when she is the adult and probably needs it more than me.....So to end this more than lengthy post,Jamie's team lost again,but not as badly as the last time. Because Mom wasn't home,we go to eat out at Beef O'Brady's for compensation for losing AND because NO ONE likes leftovers.....
