Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Mojo.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
On the morning show, Shannon thinks that she might be
the worst parent ever, which I disagree with.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
I think she's a fantastic mother.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
For it's parent specifically. Can I tell you something.

Speaker 4 (00:09):
I feel like we do this topic every couple of months,
and I deserve it.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
I know I do. I am calling myself out here.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
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.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Well.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
He had practice yesterday and he is kind of a
nervous kid when it comes to pick up. He likes
me to come twenty or thirty minutes early just so
he can see me. He knows I'm there. Every once
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.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Happens, which, by the way, I tell you that when
that does happen to you, where you get out early
and you go and see that you're 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. In Smith is not one to do
that with because he loves.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
You and he when you drop him off, he will
say be here at five fifteen because practice ends at
five forty five, 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?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Be ready to go?

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Bro because he wants to make sure that somebody is 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.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Were ready to go? Smith? By the way, I don't
think likes this sport.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
He actually does like lacrosse.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
But I 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 have your watch on, you know how much time
is you? No practice cings at five forty five?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
You good?

Speaker 4 (02:03):
It's not going to change anyways, watch during the practice
because he's so crazy about this.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
That's funny because we would always when I coached the kids,
but it was basketball, we would always say, now, I
think lacrossby similar because you can get contact.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
You always say no jewelry. I get it.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
He's so bundled up in the gear or whatever whatever.
It is old now too, right, Okay. So that brings
me to yesterday. It is cold. I showed up twenty
minutes early yesterday, loose, 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

(02:40):
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.
So we sat there and whenever Smith had the ball,
I rolled down my window and screamed from inside my

(03:02):
eighty degree with the heat blasting, and Louse and I
just sat and chatted and browsed Instagram, and.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
She'd be like, mom, Mom, Smith's got the ball.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
I'd roll down my window and be like, yes, I
was not getting out of my vehicle.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
It was so freaking cold.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
You shouldn't have even not rolled down the window.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I just started doing a you know, a quick quick
little like horn honk or something like that.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
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. Yeah,
like aren't you getting out and coming with all the
other moms and dads. No.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
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.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Soccer they still play in bad weather. I think lacrosse
cross you still play. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
And the funniest is the mount of parents that would
stay in their cars instead of in there on the
sidelines bundled up with an umbrella. Or some parents would
have the little bubble tents that they would have sat
up like they would have like these.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Did you ever see those things at all?

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
On zipps last Rich.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Those are a lot a lot like I feel like
you look silly if you're switching with those.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, you look silly, but you look like you're at
least a parent.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well if okay, to be.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Fair, if it's a game. If it's a game, I'm
out of my car for truly. This past weekend they
both had games and it was crappy weather.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I did their parents out then because it was a
practice scrimmage.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Okay, I don't know there was a scrimmage game not
listed as a game on my calendar. I'm staying in
my car.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
If you're one of the parents that plays on Smith's
team or against Smith's team, will you call us up.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
There were many other parents pictures in the row of
cars with me just sitting there.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I felt like we did last weekend opening day. Oh
my god, that you know what? That would have done
it in for me right there.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
But eight four to four Mojo Live eight four four
six six five six five four eight is our telephone.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
No, I will fully admit.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
If it's a day like today and it's cold and snowy,
I'm going.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Please please please cancel the game. Please cancel the game.
Just cancel the damn game.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, cancel.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Nobody wants to sit out there, and none of the
kids want to play in here.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
If Smith says to you, I don't feel good and
you know he's lying, do you let him stay home or.

Speaker 6 (05:15):
Or 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 got him, you.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Got a party, you commit to something, you got to
do it, Brittany or I'm sorry, Tiffany, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
It is Mojo in the morning. Hi.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
So I actually coach dance for first to third graders,
And I know it may sound harsh, but anytime they
asked me what time it is until they go home,
they run.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh so you make them run a dance? That's wild?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Hey, quick question as a coach, how many parents do
you know don't even come to their kids stuff? Has
that happened nowadays at all? Because when I was a kid,
my only my dad ever came to any of my games. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
No, there's competitions. So our practices are close practices, but
competitions it's very few. From back in the day.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I would rather don't be offended by this, but be offended.
I would rather be out and inclement weather watching my
lacrosse kid than sit in a dance competition. That sounds
to me like pure torture.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
Yeah, you definitely have to be some type of person
to sit through it.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Oh, my dance parents aren't a special breed. And this
is a shout out to you.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I was.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
I danced until I went away to college, but and
we did competition. Those competitions are all day, sometimes all weekends.
Whereas to be fair, a lacrosse game as an hour,
what is it the very most you're swimming?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
It also seems like you guys have to do a
lot of commitment for that.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Too, is a good chunk of the day. You're indoors,
and I honestly love watching swimming.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
But yeah, China, what's up China?

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I just wanted to say I agree with Shannon.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
I wouldn't get out of my car for just discourage.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
And not only that, but like parent pickup too. My
daughter does track, and the track schedule says they get
out at sick 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 events.

(07:20):
So you usually just bull text me and say I'm done.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
You're equally as bad a parent as Shannon. So I'm not.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Bad, but I's worry exactly at least do you cut
up the little like fruit and things like that for
the kids.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
You know how the kids get their fruit or whatever? Oranges?

Speaker 4 (07:40):
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. There they create like a buffets.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
They're like, there are.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Bags with like six snacks and two drink twastes.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
It might be your neighborhood though too.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
I mean it is that ain't happen that.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Ain't happening in Waterford. I just want to know are
the caprice sons and orange slice is still a thing?

Speaker 9 (08:15):
Now?

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Oh come on, but if you roll up with a
fruit like I brought a bag of apples one day
and they were like, there's nothing.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Really, I thought you always had to have a fruit
at uh at soccer or lacrosse.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
It's like Teddy's mom brought a cooler field with popsicles
and I'm like, all right, I'm learning.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Now, what's up? Casey?

Speaker 8 (08:37):
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. Were outside it was about twenty degrees.
There was about a foot of snow on the field.
They literally had four wheelers out flawing the field. And

(08:59):
I called her and I said, look, I'm in eighty
degrees with sunshine. You don't have to sit out and
watch these games. Sit in the car. It's freezing to
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?

Speaker 5 (09:10):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
That's grandma?

Speaker 8 (09:13):
Yeah grandma, I said, I'm the mom and I was
planning on seeing the car was there.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
And your kids, by the way, do they love you
their grandma more than they love you?

Speaker 8 (09:24):
Well, maybe.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
You're in warmth weather or you know, it's like you
got a lot. Poor grandma the weekend that she chooses
to watch the kids. Uh, is it is your name
like Filet Mignon? Is it like Mignon?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
What is it?

Speaker 9 (09:41):
I hate? I hate that analogy, but yes, it is.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Is Okay, what's happening? Mignon?

Speaker 9 (09:49):
So I have five sons from elementary to high school. Wow,
and they do everything from wrestling, baseball, football, the whole nine.
When I travel miles and miles and miles for football,
it could be one hundred degrees in the summertime, it
could be October playoffs and you're freezing with snow.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, it's the worst.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
And do you get out of your car or you
like Shannon that you said in your car practice.

Speaker 9 (10:19):
I'm still 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 five thirty in
the morning. I would travel an hour to wrestling, and
they like, Mom, like you can go to sleep. Nope,
I'm here.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'm still stay mean young. What's your son's name?

Speaker 9 (10:41):
Nowhere near my name.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
They're all like, hey, what kind of snacks do the
kids get at their games? Do they get good snacks?

Speaker 9 (10:52):
They get good snacks?

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Okay, See they don't want orange slices, do they?

Speaker 9 (10:58):
No, they don't. They will they will, but if like
there has to be something else, Yeah, those kids are bougie.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
That's amazing. Yeah, well, thank you for the call.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Mom.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 9 (11:12):
Thank you, have a good day.
