gigs all right mojo in the morning show shannon thinks that she might be the worst parent ever which i disagree with i think she's a fantastic mother sports parent specifically can i tell you

00:02:43 - 00:03:29 | Speaker 4:

something i feel like we do this topic every couple of months and i deserve it i know i do I am calling myself out here. So both of my kids right now are starting their lacrosse seasons. And for Smith, this is his very first lacrosse season ever. And he loves it. And he's having so much fun. His dad was a lacrosse player all through college. So it's just like a big sport for Smith to be playing. Well, he had practice yesterday. And he is kind of a nervous kid when it comes to pick up he likes me to come 20 or 30 minutes early just so he can see me he knows I'm there everyone's in a great while the coach will let them go a couple of minutes early so he wants to make sure mom or somebody is there to pick him up in the event that happens okay which by the way

00:03:29 - 00:03:44 | Speaker 6:

I have to tell you that when that does happen to you where you get out early and you go and see that your mom is not there your dad is not there the worst that is the most like if you forget to pick up a kid like that's the worst and yeah smith is not one to do that with because he loves you

00:03:44 - 00:04:45 | Speaker 4:

and he when you drop him off he will say be here at 5 15 because practice ends at 5 45 exact time he knows the exact time he also i learned this from his coach yesterday he will ask his coach how much time is left in practice he ready to go bro because he wants to make sure that somebody's there his coach actually told him yesterday i'm digressing but he said smith you need to stop asking me when practice is going to be over because he asked seven times yesterday ready to go by the way i don't think likes this sport he actually does like lacrosse but apparently my ex-husband told the coach whenever smith asks how much longer you know do we have practice make him run wow so like teach him you are here you you have your watch on you know how much time is you know practice ends at 5 45 you good it's not going to change anyway just watch during the the practice because he's so crazy about this that's funny because we would always when i

00:04:45 - 00:04:54 | Speaker 6:

coached uh the kids but it was basketball we would always say i don't think lacrosse be similar because you can get contact yeah i say no jewelry i get it he's so bundled up in

00:04:54 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 4:

the gear or whatever it is. And it's cold now too, right? Okay, so that brings me to yesterday.

00:05:00 - 00:05:52 | Speaker 1:

It is cold. I showed up 20 minutes early yesterday. Luce and I roll up, I park, and I see all of the other good sports parents on the side of the field cheering their kids on because they're doing a scrimmage or whatever. And I look at Lucy and I said, I am not getting out of this very toasty, warm car to go cheer him on. And so we sat there, and whenever Smith had the ball, I rolled down my window and screamed, Go, Smith! From inside my 80-degree car with the heat blasting. And Luz and I just sat and chatted and browsed Instagram, and she'd be like, Mom, Mom, Smith's got the ball. I'd roll down my window and be like, Yes, Smith! I was not getting out of my vehicle. It was so freaking cold.

00:05:52 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 4:

You should even not roll down the window, just started doing a quick little horn honk or something like that.

00:05:59 - 00:06:05 | Speaker 1:

It was funny because I think he was like, what the heck is going on? At one point, he stood there with his stick and just looked at me.

00:06:06 - 00:06:06 | Speaker 4:

Yeah.

00:06:06 - 00:06:10 | Speaker 1:

Like, aren't you getting out and coming with all the other moms and dads? No.

00:06:10 - 00:06:45 | Speaker 4:

So I remember Jacob and Luke played soccer. And first off, soccer and like t-ball are like the worst to me sports for weather because the weather always sucks. The only good thing about T-Ball is they'll cancel T-Ball games. Soccer, they still play in bad weather. I think lacrosse is probably like that, too. Lacrosse, you still play. Yeah. And the funniest is the amount of parents that would stay in their cars. Instead of standing there on the sidelines bundled up with an umbrella, or some parents would have the little bubble tents that they would have set up. Like they would have like these. Did you ever see those things at all? Yeah, those are a lot.

00:06:45 - 00:06:46 | Speaker 1:

That's reach. Those are a lot.

00:06:47 - 00:06:47 | Speaker 4:

Those what?

00:06:47 - 00:06:51 | Speaker 1:

Those are a lot. A lot. I feel like you look silly if you're standing in one of those.

00:06:51 - 00:06:54 | Speaker 4:

Well, you look silly, but you look like you're at least a parent.

00:06:54 - 00:07:01 | Speaker 1:

Well, okay, to be fair, if it's a game, I'm out of my car. Truly, this past weekend, they both had games, and it was crappy weather.

00:07:02 - 00:07:04 | Speaker 4:

But why were the other parents out then? Because it was a?

00:07:05 - 00:07:10 | Speaker 1:

Practice. Scrimmage. Okay, I don't think. It was a scrimmage game. It's not listed as a game on my calendar. I'm staying in my car.

00:07:10 - 00:07:15 | Speaker 4:

If you're one of the parents that plays on Smith's team or against Smith's team, will you call us up?

00:07:15 - 00:07:20 | Speaker 1:

There were many other parents in the row of cars with me, just sitting there.

00:07:20 - 00:07:32 | Speaker 4:

It probably felt like we did last week in opening day. Oh, my God. You know what? That would have done it in for me right there. 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548 is our telephone number.

00:07:32 - 00:07:43 | Speaker 1:

I will fully admit, if it's a day like today and it's cold and snowy, I'm going, please, please, please cancel the game. I know. Please cancel the game. Just cancel the damn game.

00:07:43 - 00:07:43 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, cancel.

00:07:43 - 00:07:46 | Speaker 1:

Nobody wants to sit out there and none of the kids want to play in this.

00:07:46 - 00:07:52 | Speaker 4:

If Smith says to you, I don't feel good and you know he's lying, do you let him stay home or, like, how does that work?

00:07:52 - 00:08:05 | Speaker 1:

I've had to be a little more buttoned up about that because I am a sucker, and I have been a sucker for years, and so we're trying, with him especially, to teach him, like, you've got to be a part of your team group.

00:08:05 - 00:08:10 | Speaker 4:

If you commit to something, you've got to do it. Brittany, or I'm sorry, Tiffany, what's going on? It's Mojo in the morning.

00:08:11 - 00:08:21 | Speaker 3:

Hi. So I actually coach dance for first to third graders, and I know it may sound harsh, But any time they ask me what time it is until they go home, they run.

00:08:21 - 00:08:24 | Speaker 4:

Oh, so you make them run and dance. That's wild.

00:08:24 - 00:08:25 | Speaker 3:

100%.

00:08:25 - 00:08:35 | Speaker 4:

Hey, quick question as a coach. How many parents do you know don't even come to their kid stuff? Does that happen nowadays at all? Because when I was a kid, I don't think my dad ever came to any of my games.

00:08:36 - 00:08:45 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, no, there's competitions. So our practices are closed practices. But competitions, it's very few from back in the day.

00:08:45 - 00:08:57 | Speaker 4:

I would rather, don't be offended by this, but be offended. I would rather be out in inclement weather watching my lacrosse kid than sit in a dance competition. That sounds to me like pure torture.

00:08:58 - 00:09:02 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, you definitely have to be some type of person to sit through it. Oh, my God.

00:09:02 - 00:09:15 | Speaker 1:

Dance parents are a special breed. And this is a shout out to you. I danced until I went away to college and we did competition. Those competitions are all day, sometimes all weekends. Whereas, to be fair, a lacrosse game is an hour.

00:09:15 - 00:09:21 | Speaker 4:

Well, what is it that you, swimming is also seems like you guys have to do a lot of commitment for that too, but at least you're indoors.

00:09:21 - 00:09:25 | Speaker 1:

Swimming is a good chunk of the day. You're indoors. And I honestly love watching swimming, but.

00:09:25 - 00:09:26 | Speaker 4:

Yeah. Chyna, what's up?

00:09:26 - 00:09:27 | Speaker 1:

Chyna.

00:09:28 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 2:

Hi. I just wanted to say, I agree with Shannon. I wouldn't get out of my car for just a scrimmage. And not only that, but like parent pickup too. Yeah. My daughter does track and the track schedule says they get out at six, but she's always done early and i have other kids i can't sit there for an hour waiting for her to get out of track so i mean everybody gets out at different times depending on their event so you usually just will text me and say i'm done you are

00:10:00 - 00:10:02 | Speaker 6:

Equally as bad a parent as Shannon, just so you know that.

00:10:02 - 00:10:06 | Speaker 4:

I guess so. I'm not a sports mom. Bad sports parent tonight.

00:10:06 - 00:10:14 | Speaker 6:

Bad sports, exactly. At least do you cut up the little, like, fruit and things like that for the kids? Boy. You know how the kids get the fruit or whatever at the end of the day?

00:10:14 - 00:10:40 | Speaker 2:

Y'all still do oranges? Okay, let me tell you something about sports snacks. No longer are the days of bringing, like, a box of chips from Kroger and some juice boxes. Like, some of these parents, and it is a testament to them. I bow down to you, they create like a buffet or bags. There are bags with like six snacks and two drink choices.

00:10:40 - 00:10:41 | Speaker 6:

It might be your neighborhood, though, too.

00:10:42 - 00:10:45 | Speaker 2:

I'll be honest with you. It is a lot.

00:10:45 - 00:10:53 | Speaker 6:

That ain't happening in Waterford. I just want to know, are the Capri Suns and orange slices still a thing? No. Oh, come on. The Capri Suns, yes.

00:10:53 - 00:10:58 | Speaker 2:

But if you roll up with a fruit, like I brought a bag of apples one day and they were like, there's enough.

00:10:58 - 00:11:03 | Speaker 6:

Really? I thought you always had to have a fruit at soccer or lacrosse.

00:11:03 - 00:11:09 | Speaker 2:

It's like, Teddy's mom brought a cooler filled with popsicles. And I'm like, I'm learning now.

00:11:09 - 00:11:10 | Speaker 6:

What's up, Casey?

00:11:12 - 00:11:47 | Speaker 3:

So I have multiple sons that play in sports. And in December, I was in Arizona with one child. My husband was in Ohio with another. So grandparents had to take my third son to games in Cleveland. She didn't know when she committed they were outside. It was about 20 degrees. There was about a foot of snow on the field. They literally had four-wheelers out plowing the field. And I called her and I said, look, I'm in 80 degrees of sunshine. You don't have to sit out and watch these games. Sit in the car. It's freezing. Do not get out of the car. She goes, what kind of grandma would I be if I didn't sit out there and watch them? You know what? That's a great grandma.

00:11:48 - 00:11:48 | Speaker 6:

Yeah.

00:11:48 - 00:11:55 | Speaker 3:

Good grandma. But I said I'm the mom and I was planning on seeing the car if I was there. So she said I was in the car and she didn't. She said I was in the car game.

00:11:55 - 00:11:58 | Speaker 6:

And your kids, by the way, do they love their grandma more than they love you?

00:11:58 - 00:12:00 | Speaker 3:

Oh, well, maybe.

00:12:02 - 00:12:16 | Speaker 6:

You're in warmth weather, you know. It's like you got to love. Poor grandma, the weekend that she chooses to watch the kids. Is your name like Filet Mignon? Is it like Mignon? What is it?

00:12:16 - 00:12:19 | Speaker 4:

I hate that analogy, but yes, it is.

00:12:19 - 00:12:21 | Speaker 6:

It is. Okay, what's happening, Mignon?

00:12:21 - 00:12:46 | Speaker 4:

own so i have five sons from elementary to high school wow and they do everything from wrestling baseball football the whole nine wrestling i travel miles and miles and miles for football it could be 100 degrees in the summertime it could be october playoffs and you're freezing with snow

00:12:46 - 00:12:51 | Speaker 6:

yeah it's the worst and do you get out of your car or are you like shannon you sit in the car

00:12:51 - 00:13:20 | Speaker 4:

You have to practice. So my sons tell me, my sons do tell me, like, Mom, you don't have to come. You don't have to come. I'm at everything. I get off at 530 in the morning. I would travel an hour to wrestling, and they're like, Mom, like, you can go to sleep. Nope, I'm here. I'm there everywhere. I'm still stuck on Mignon. What's your son's name? Nowhere near my name. They're all regular. Regular names.

00:13:21 - 00:13:27 | Speaker 6:

Hey, what kind of snacks do the kids get at their games? Do they get good snacks? They get

00:13:27 - 00:13:29 | Speaker 4:

good snacks, okay?

00:13:29 - 00:13:31 | Speaker 2:

See, they don't want orange slices, do they?

00:13:33 - 00:13:39 | Speaker 4:

No, they don't. They will, but it's like... There has to be something else. Yeah.

00:13:40 - 00:13:46 | Speaker 6:

My name is Patrick Pettway, and I am getting my Associates of Science.

00:15:00 - 00:15:40 | Speaker 3:

general education with an emphasis in business administration. To me, it was a no-brainer when you go out here and you're looking for funding to go back to college as a 40-year-old man. I got six people in my household. The extra money just doesn't just grow out of trees. For me to be able to be accepted through FAFSA and to have Bishop State pay for all of my tuition, not only that, but the curriculums, you know, they make it so easy to understand on their website. Like I said, I'm a 40-year-old man, so I don't use technology too much, but it was very understandable. and where I needed to go. It was extremely fast. These past two years, things have just moved in a total different type of way. It's like its own moving entity to see things manifest the way that they do.
