Hey, even if you're single, you're still getting screwed in many ways of your life. Screwed financially. Screwed by friends who tell you one thing, then do another. Screwed by your employer. See, you can still get screwed without having sex. This moment of clarity brought to you by Mojo in the Morning.

00:01:16 - 00:01:22 | Speaker 5:

It's Mojo in the Morning show. Shannon and an embarrassing sports mom moment.

00:01:23 - 00:01:51 | Speaker 6:

I never played sports ever. So that is my excuse for anything that I do wrong, because I've talked about this for a very long time. I am the absolute worst sports parent. I never have any clue what is going on. Lucy plays lacrosse. Smith plays baseball. They both swim and play golf and tennis. I don't know what is going on ever. I was a theater kid and a ballet kid.

00:01:52 - 00:01:55 | Speaker 5:

But you have to take them to a bunch of things and you have to sit in the stands.

00:01:55 - 00:03:24 | Speaker 6:

and a bunch of things yep and so over the weekend they both were involved in a swim meet out at Fenton High School so I was on that side of town all day on Sunday um totally clueless like I really am just learning about events and heats and these little grid things that they write on their arms to know where they're supposed to be on the pool deck for each event lane and blah blah blah. Um, so Wes was with me for this swim meet on Sunday and we're sitting in the stands and I see Smith on the pool deck. I mean, there's hundreds and hundreds of kids, but I can kind of see like our, our group, our crew. And I see Smith and he's getting ready, you know, to jump in. He's getting ready for his event, which he was doing backstroke, I think. So I'm like cheering so loud for him and I'm standing up and like waving so he knows exactly where I'm sitting so he can look you know when he gets done and Wes goes um that's not your son I was cheering for a child that looked just like my six-year-old but definitely was not so the kid's name was Leo looks just like Smith I know who he is he's also on the team And most of them wear, like, swim caps with their names on them, like their last names on them. Well, Smith doesn't like to wear a swim cap. Okay. And neither does Leo. And they have the same hair and body structure. And they were wearing the same little, you know, swim briefs, whatever.

00:03:25 - 00:03:29 | Speaker 5:

But, no, definitely wasn't Smith. How long were you cheering for him before you realized?

00:03:29 - 00:03:32 | Speaker 6:

Probably, like, a good minute. That's not my job. And obnoxiously cheering.

00:03:32 - 00:03:32 | Speaker 5:

Really?

00:03:33 - 00:03:33 | Speaker 6:

Because it's me.

00:03:33 - 00:03:35 | Speaker 5:

And you were calling Leo Smith.

00:03:36 - 00:03:36 | Speaker 6:

Yes.

00:03:36 - 00:03:39 | Speaker 5:

And did Leo's family look at you here?

00:03:39 - 00:03:47 | Speaker 6:

There were so many people there. if they were there they were you know probably like well that's that's not yeah it would be like

00:03:47 - 00:04:15 | Speaker 5:

what's in that cup shannon it was coffee you know that this has happened to some other parents you got to call us up and tell us if this has ever happened to you because that's a pretty embarrassing thing when you don't even know your own child when you were the one that probably dressed your child I did that with the Halloween parade this year. Oh, that's right. I thought Cecily was dressed up as something, and it was the wrong kid. I was giving him high fives.

00:04:15 - 00:04:21 | Speaker 6:

If there's an error, hoop, or hole in the ground, I hope to get it in. Now, after the fact, I learned that he had to do.

00:04:21 - 00:04:22 | Speaker 5:

This is a song perfect for you, by the way.

00:04:22 - 00:04:25 | Speaker 6:

What is it? It's Go Sports Girl, about two girls talking about sports

00:04:25 - 00:04:27 | Speaker 3:

who know nothing about sports. Go Sports!

00:04:27 - 00:04:28 | Unknown:

That's me.

00:04:29 - 00:04:49 | Speaker 6:

They have their opponents numerically in the allotted time. And I have to tell you, I'm so excited when I go to see my kids at things because they are, like, I'm in awe of them. I could not, I can't swim, I can doggy pedal. So it's so cool to me that they can do these things, you know, and I get overly excited, but clearly.

00:04:50 - 00:04:57 | Speaker 5:

Does the apple fall far from the tree with either one of the kids or do they get their dad's athletic ability, hopefully? Because.

00:04:58 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 6:

No, I mean, I don't have enough.

00:05:00 - 00:05:01 | Speaker 2:

athletic bone in my body. No, that's what I'm saying.

00:05:02 - 00:05:04 | Speaker 1:

You're not a sports person, but you're...

00:05:04 - 00:05:06 | Speaker 2:

But Andrew, I mean, Andrew, my ex-husband is...

00:05:06 - 00:05:23 | Speaker 1:

Because sometimes it's sad in homes where, you know, you'll find out that dad's not a real good athlete, but mom was a good athlete or vice versa in this case. And then the poor kid gets the genetics. The kid who wants to be the good sports kid turns out to be the genetics of the parent that's not the good sports parent.

00:05:24 - 00:05:29 | Speaker 2:

Right. Smith's working on his enthusiasm. That's how I'm going to say it.

00:05:30 - 00:05:37 | Speaker 1:

Because that's one of those ones where it's like, yeah, all right. I know where you're going. Selena, what's going on? It's Mojo in the morning. Hello.

00:05:38 - 00:06:15 | Speaker 4:

Hi. So I also have swim kids. And just recently, my senior son, I was at his meet recording him for, you know, memory purposes or whatever. and I guess in the middle of recording his event, I must have switched lanes and started recording some other kid and was freaking out. I'm like, why is my kid still swimming? He miscounted. Why is he still going? He should have been done by now. And my husband's like, oh, yeah, he just out-touched the other kid. I'm like, what are you talking about? And then I was like, oh, my God, I've been recording the wrong kid. Yes.

00:06:16 - 00:06:21 | Speaker 1:

And then, Selena, you feel like a creeper because there's people looking at you with a camera

00:06:21 - 00:06:27 | Speaker 4:

recording the entire time right yeah exactly and i'm recording the wrong child i i feel you i don't

00:06:27 - 00:06:38 | Speaker 1:

know swim selena and shannon selena i'll pose this to you because i don't know shannon will know the answer so i'm just kidding shannon 616 says shannon do they not have scoreboards with

00:06:38 - 00:06:49 | Speaker 2:

their names on it yeah names and lanes but this was before the event even started oh okay so it was all the kids just in a group on the pool deck and i thought it was smith listen in a certain spot Yeah, and that's who I was aiming at.

00:06:49 - 00:07:05 | Speaker 1:

My in-laws, when Luke was doing travel baseball, my in-laws sat an entire game, an entire game cheering for kids who were not their grandkids the entire time. Because you just have no clue. When you go to a baseball field, it's like a bunch of them playing. What's up, Courtney?

00:07:07 - 00:07:09 | Speaker 5:

Yes, hello. Good morning. Good morning, Courtney.

00:07:10 - 00:07:13 | Speaker 1:

One-time caller. Yeah, Courtney's on the phone.

00:07:13 - 00:07:34 | Speaker 5:

i'm here with my daughter isabella driving to school she wanted me to call and make a comment because she will never forget when i was cheering for her she's in competitive dance eight dances right there are so quick changes and so quick i was like yes isabella and she's like mom that

00:07:34 - 00:07:44 | Speaker 1:

00:07:45 - 00:07:46 | Speaker 5:

Really embarrassing.

00:07:48 - 00:07:50 | Speaker 1:

But you know that your mom loves you, right?

00:07:51 - 00:07:51 | Speaker 6:

Yeah.

00:07:52 - 00:07:52 | Speaker 1:

Yeah.

00:07:52 - 00:07:55 | Speaker 6:

But how many practices did mom sit on to not know where you were?

00:07:56 - 00:07:56 | Speaker 1:

There you go.

00:07:57 - 00:07:58 | Speaker 6:

A lot.

00:07:59 - 00:08:01 | Speaker 1:

Where do you go to school, Isabella?

00:08:02 - 00:08:05 | Speaker 5:

I go to school at Kingsbury Country Day in Oxford.

00:08:06 - 00:08:13 | Speaker 1:

We love you. Thanks for listening to us. Thanks for getting your mom to listen to. We love you. Take care of yourself. Bye, Courtney. We'll see you. Take care of yourself.

00:08:13 - 00:08:14 | Speaker 5:

Bye. Thank you.

00:08:14 - 00:08:18 | Speaker 1:

All right. Bye. Appreciate it. Oh, my God. Those are funny.

00:08:19 - 00:08:44 | Speaker 2:

You want to know what's so funny, too, is all these swimmers, like this is a thing that they write on each other's bodies with Sharpie. Like they write, like, eat my bubbles or words of affirmation or they write what events they're Okay. in. Well, after the fact, I realized that Smith had wanted Lucy to write, like, eat my bubbles on his back or something, which is what they all write. And instead, she wrote poop. So I could have just cheated for the kid that had poop. and known it was him.

00:08:46 - 00:08:55 | Speaker 1:

Lucy's my kind of sibling. This, by the way, is a funny one. Caitlin, the biggest moment that your kid has, their graduation and what happened?

00:08:56 - 00:09:39 | Speaker 6:

So it was my younger brother, and he was graduating. He goes to school in New York City, and we were at the graduation ceremony. It's like this huge church there in the city, and my mom swore that it was him getting ready to walk across the stage, And normally the names are pretty delayed when they're saying that and people walk across. So she's zooming in with her phone and taking videos and pictures, like a million of them. And then this kid walks by and they look similar. And I'm like, that's not Hunter. That's not him. And she's standing up and cheering. And there's people looking at her like she's not. And then they say the name. It wasn't him. He was like 30 people behind.

00:09:40 - 00:09:41 | Unknown:

Oh, my gosh.

00:09:41 - 00:09:44 | Speaker 1:

That kid, though, got a lot of cheers, which is kind of cool, right?

00:09:45 - 00:09:48 | Speaker 6:

Except his family was sitting, like, in the same row as him.

00:09:51 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 2:
