Devin Cracks Me Up

My 9 yr old has quite a sense of humor and he is quite full of himself. He told me that he doesn't like football this year so I asked him why. He told me that it is because the coaches aren't pushing him - they are too nice. Last year, he had the best coach ever named Shane Shillady. We loved going to the practices to hear Shane's booming voice busting on Devin to work harder. He absolutely knew how to get the best out of him.

Last week, I went over to the older group's practice to visit with Jaimie Shillady - Shane's wife. We were talking as the C group went jogging by on their run around the field. Greg and I caught Devin WALKING! Greg said something to him - quietly. As Devin went by me, I said, "you better run Gilligan." He sprinted the rest of the way, smiling cuz he got caught.

I asked him later that night what he liked so much about last year; that's when he said the coaching. I asked him, "Did you like it when Shane busted your chops?" He smiled, sort of sheepishly and said YES.
