Predictable

I feel like I could have predicted this...and may have predicted this already in previous blogs/comments....SD didn't make the softball team.  I'm honestly not surprised.  Any time SD has to actually try out to make a team she doesn't make it (at least so far).  I am sure that BM is shocked.  I mean she had her on that "super competitive recreational team" with kids 4 years younger than her.  How did that not help her game?!?!

I'm just waiting to hear the excuses.  DH texted her and asked her about it and that is the only reason we know she didn't make it.  I guess everything he texted her was met with a short "no" response so she is obviously upset.  I do feel bad for her on that.  I mean she hasn't really had to work for anything so far so she hasn't learned that hard work and practice will get you results.  Not excuses.

I wonder if BM will contact the coach's boss and try to get her on the team like she did with cheer after they were "mean" to SD and SD didn't make it.  I think BM's name should have been Karen!  Would be a way more fitting name for her!  Sorry to any real Karen's that are offended by this!

What, but she was excelling on the underage team. Just proves because you can buy your kids way onto a team does not mean they will be talented by extension.

Exactly!  BM set SD up for failure IMO.  But I'm sure during SD's visit this week there will be a long list of why it wasn't her fault that she didn't make the team.

ROFL This is hilarious!  I mean...she might be able too...or she would just cheat.  SD cheats at pretty much any game we play at home or tries to change rules to her advantage.

How embarrassing though, if she didn't make a team with first-graders that had no try-outs? Or likely, she'd get hit with a ball in the first game and break her kneecap or something.

How can that be. ??? The injured list must have already been full.  Wink

I'm sure SD will spin the reasons as to why.

I guess they had enough bench warmers?!?  LOL!  I'm very interested to see the spin they put on it this time.  At least DH was realistic with her and texted her that she just needed to practice more and practice harder.  I'm sure she loved that advice!

Oh great! LOL!  Just like the animal torturer!  What a lovely trait, right?!?!

I feel like if you feel the need to cheat/change rules to your advantage while playing games for fun you really are a deceitful person.  Just not a good trait. 

Sometimes I lose board games first so I don't have to play with her anymore.
