Our son is a huge baseball fan. His team of choice is the Baltimore Orioles. As much as he likes the Orioles, he also recognizes that they don’t exactly have a winning record…

Last week we were getting ready for soccer practice when he informed me that he didn’t feel like going to practice.
Me: “Well you need to practice, it helps you to get better.”
Son: “ But Mom, I’m already really good. I don’t need practice.”
Me: “Even the Orioles practice and their professionals.”
Son: “But Mom, the Orioles aren’t good. They need to practice.”

And in keeping with his very realistic outlook on his beloved Orioles, I thought I’d record this anecdote which I did post on face book a few months ago, but wanted to have recorded.
Son: “Mom, why are the Red Sox so much better than the Orioles, do they practice more?”
Me: “No, I am sure the Orioles practice hard. Well, ummmm I guess they have better players.”
Son: “Why?”
Me: “Well, I guess b/c their coaches pick better players.”
long pause
Son: “Mom, I think your wrong. That just doesn’t make any sense. Why wouldn’t the coaches pick good players. I think it’s because they don’t practice enough.”
