Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, it's Monday. I know it's Amanda, but it's
Schmitty and I've got Griffin's tickets for you at seven thirty,
and we're still gonna have a lot of fun, even
though I'm still rocking a bit of a bloody face situation.
What is the i'll say, best, worst, or funniest way
you have gotten injured because of your kids? And I
have to point out this was not done by my kid,

(00:23):
but still because of my kid that I was even
playing soccer to begin with. So my seven year old
son is just wrapping up his fall soccer season, and
I did think this was a really cute idea. Their
last practice, they decided to do a parent versus kids scrimmage,
and the coach sent out the email. He's like, this
is a tradition we've started. It's so great. The kids

(00:43):
have such a blast, and I'm always down for this.
I try to be the fun mom and it gets
me into some interesting situations when I try to be fun.
So I'm thinking we'll go to practice. They practice for
you know, forty five minutes or whatever, and then the
last ten to fifteen is a scrimmage. No, the entire
thing sixty straight minutes of kid versus parents scrimmage, and

(01:06):
there are some competitive parents out there. Turns out quite
a few kids on my son's team have parents that
played like d one soccer in college. I did not.
I barely ever picked up a soccer ball. But I'm
competitive and if I'm out there to play, I'm gonna play.
And there were a lot of parents taking it pretty seriously.
And all of a sudden, I've made it probably thirty
minutes into this scrimmage and feeling pretty good. I know

(01:27):
my body's gonna hate me the next morning because I'm
very unfit, but I feel pretty good. And it's apparent
this parent just goes to boot the ball and it
hits me square in the face. I mean so hard
it tears my sunglasses off and knocks my hat off
my head. That's like the amount of g force this

(01:50):
ball came at my face. And I was like, oh,
and it didn't necessarily like hurt hurt. You know, I
walked it off. I'm there for the competition. This wonderful
mom which is like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
So no, it's fine, like it is what it is, like,
it's great. We're having a great time out here. So
the scrimmage ens. We get in the car and my
husband looks at me and he goes, oh, my gosh,

(02:11):
and I'm like what. He goes, You're you're really bleeding,
And I like pull down the like sunflap in the car,
open the mirror, and there is just blood running down
one side of my face because apparently my sunglasses just
like tore open the bridge of my nose when this
ball hit. So now on one side of my nose,

(02:32):
I have this giant gash. I cut the other side
of my face right above my eyebrow, and then I
have like just the slightest not a full black eye,
but just the slightest little bruising under my left eye.
And I'm sitting there like how in the world. These
