Dear Winifred; July 29

More sage advice from the Queen of Advice!

 

     Dear Winifred, I'm writing to you today because I saw a shameful event take place yesterday, and I feel like I just have to get your opinion on it; my son plays baseball on a little league team, and yesterday an irate parent just wouldn't shut up, yelling that if his boy had he been allowed to play, he wouldn't have missed the grounder that cost the boys the game.  I felt terrible for the young man whose error allowed the winning run to score; he heard this 'gentleman' berating him at full bellow, and started crying.  He already felt worthless, and because of one overbearing loudmouth, felt even worse.  People, it's just a game; sure, it feels good when the boys win, but they're kids!  The object should be having fun, not winning at all costs.  What do you think Winifred?  Signed The True Meaning of Sports

 

 

     Dear The True Meaning of Sports; I know the politically correct thing to do is agree with you, so I'll give the proper response; it's shameful and sad to watch a parent like this; making a fool out of themselves and embarrass their child, who shouldn't have added pressure to perform up to their father or mother's ridiculous and unrealistic expectations.  There, that's what you want me to say, isn't it?  Well, obviously you're not a gambling person, because if you were, you'd see that winning and beating the point spread is all that matters.  I realize it's just little league, but your little rodent needs to learn the hard truth from the day he or she laces up a pair of cleats; that soon it'll be more than little league, and we hardcore gamblers could give a s**t if you had fun; we wagered big bucks on the outcome, and because of your boner, we're going to be unable to pay Guido, and we'll have to flee the state (not me, you understand, but I know a guy!)  So, little junior, maybe you'll keep that in mind the next time the outcome of a game is dependent on you; Winifred

Yeah, that would be humorous, but then Winifred would have to actually touch her husband, and I can't see that happening, can you?

[Vidya Bacchus]

Ummmm no so now you just review your own work huh lol

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah; do you think saying my own stuff is among the greatest and funniest stuff ever written is not right of me?

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahaha oh dear I agree with Marie.Now that would be something to see.Wini as an irate parent.Jeez Wini as a parent boggles the mind lol

[Marie]

The writer of this letter should be glad the berating parent wasn't Winifred herself.

[Michael Stevens]

Amen to that!

[char]

That's so f***ed up! I almost feel bad for laughing! 😂 But gambling and baseball? You got me worried about Tulo again. Maybe not this season, but next year?! 😭

[Michael Stevens]

Maybe; hope springs eternal, unless you're a Mariner fan!

[char]

Haha, the Rockies suck too. Without Tulo we'll be even worse. And he's on DL half the time!

[Michael Stevens]

Well, we can b***h together!
