When A Kid Has the Wrong Sporting Equipment

 At the end of his baseball game this was my son's nonstop rapid do not stop to breathe firing rant, "I wasn't even sure you were coming. Did you even notice? I forgot my cup. I had to wear the coaches cup. I think it was his from college. It was probably in his bag since he was in college. It was so old and was gigantic. It was practically touching my knees. I could not even field a ball because the cup was blocking my glove and I could not even run the bases because the cup was so huge it was in the way. Stop laughing."

  3. I can't help but laugh. I'm imagining this your son just being so serious about the whole thing, so upset, and not thinking this is funny at all. But it is!

  4. um....ewww....errr....lol...umm...really at a loss here...smiles.

  5. You women have no idea how serious this is! Suppose you were going out and you suddenly realized you wore the wrong shoes and they....DID NOT MATCH YOUR DRESS!!!

    I am going to guess he will never forget his cup again.

    Our coach always had several spare new cups in his bag. Good coach.

  6. Oh, Gawwwd! I remember the days with the "cup"! The constant rearranging. Will coach know if I don't put it on? It rubs me wrong. All of it. Such a cute story and I would be LMAO if I was there too.

  8. Haha so funny! He'll never forget it again now.

    ReplyDelete

  9. Eww, the coach's old cup? Gross! You'd think he'd keep some spare boy's size cups around for just this reason. Funny, but gross story!

  10. Coach sounds like an interesting man!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  16. Too funny. I only had girls so never had to worry about that.

    ReplyDelete

  17. Oh my gosh, I started laughing at the beginning, rolling in the middle and tearful at the end...this is stinking hilarious! Bet that coach is P.R.O.U.D. of that gigantic cup! funny stuff!

  22. Annmarie, I definitely came from a different era. When I played baseball, the boys wore jock straps...only the catchers wore cups. Your son had to really be embarrassed though...kind of gross too, having to wear the coach's cup... Poor kid, he has my empathy for sure! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    ReplyDelete

  24. That is so funny, and he probably was not happy at all that you laughed at him...

    ReplyDelete

  26. Annmarie, I have laughed till I cried. Thank you for the laugh. Aren't kids just the craziest things...Gotta love them to pieces.Smiles to you, Susie

  35. How funny! So this cup runneth over?

    ReplyDelete

  36. Sorry, kiddo. I'm laughing. Betcha remember to pack everything in your bag next gamee.

    ReplyDelete

  37. Yes, stop laughing - these things are crucially important!

    ReplyDelete

  39. HA! Too funny. Just getting back to visiting some of my favorite blogs today, and I'm glad I didn't miss this one. Reminds me of our son when he was a young boy. When he got his first cup, he didn't realize he didn't have to wear it ALL THE TIME. Much hilarity ensued when we realized the poor kid was even wearing it under his jammies.

    Good to be back. Just gonna eeeeease into the blogosphere today, and start posting again in a couple days. Recess was definitely fun, but I reckon it's over.

    ReplyDelete

  43. LOL!!!!!!!!!! I would have had to laugh too even if it was to his face. I couldn't have helped myself. Too funny!!

    ReplyDelete

  46. There's an old English proverb that goes
    "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip" your son's certainly got the cup on his lips. Hilarious.

    ReplyDelete

  47. Awe, poor guy! I raised three boys so I know what you mean. I wouldn't dare laugh in front of mine though. They took these kinds of things waaay too seriously. Thanks for the smile and for your visit.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  48. I don't think he'll ever forget to pack his own cup ever again after this embarrassing incident:-).

    ReplyDelete

  49. LOL...this sounded like a convo I have had with one of my sons....still laughing. Great post.

  50. I'm not sure which gets me more - that the coach just happened to be carrying his old cup around with him or that he even thought to lend it to a kid on his team. Hysterical.

    ReplyDelete

  51. I guess if I had a son that would be the kind of conversation we'd have. Very funny!

    ReplyDelete

  52. LOL - poor guy! That can not have been a fun experience (but funny for others!)

  53. This is how much I know about sports... I had to read about 15 comments before I started understanding you were not talking about a cup like a tea cup, or coffee mug.

    So...they wear those for baseball?

    ReplyDelete

  54. Oh my, I hope he's not mortified you shared with all your readers! But then again, this is too funny not to share! LOL!

    ReplyDelete

  55. Oh, this is P.R.I.C.E.L.E.S.S!! LOL! Bless his heart!

    ReplyDelete

  58. I... I .... don't even know what to say.

    Bwahahahahahahahaha!

    ReplyDelete

  59. I'm sitting here dying laughing. Went through that with one of my boys and yes in the moment it's all you can do to keep a straight face. What's the first thing he is gonna check for in his bag next time? hmmmm? Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete

  69. Oh he will not forget his own cup again. LOL

    ReplyDelete

  70. So funny, I'm guessing a cup is what we'd call a box in cricket? This is like a scene from my life - last night I drove the family to cricket (1 hour) and drove home (1 hour) with my sons entire kit still in my car - I drove back to the game very fast (a bit less than 1 hour!) and got some very black looks! Boy was I in trouble!

    ReplyDelete

  87. Like others, I heart your blog--so honest and funny! This is a great story. The trials of childhood. It doesn't end. My 20 year old came home from the first day of summer term mortified because one of her teachers made her wear a surgical mask in class because she was coughing!

    ReplyDelete

  88. How could you honestly listen to him rant on and on about his " coach's cup" without laughing hysterically? Or better yet, how can you ever think about the coach without thinking about his "huge cup"! LOL

    ReplyDelete

  89. That's funny but he'll probably remember his cup next time.

    ReplyDelete

  90. lol, poor kid, that'll teach him to remember his cup!

    ReplyDelete

  91. OMG, I am rolling! That is the funniest thing I've read in a while!

    ReplyDelete

  92. What was the coach doing carting around the old cup he had from his college days? was my first question. Ha ha!

    ReplyDelete

  93. This is so funny. It gave me a good chuckle first thing this morning. I'm passing it on. He'll laugh about it when he's an adult, but not right now! Wish my son was this age again. Enjoy every moment.

    ReplyDelete

  94. Oh no. Poor kid. Pretty funny though. Next time I bet a proper cup is the first thing he grabs when he leaves for a game.

    ReplyDelete

  95. THAT is one of the funniest stories I have read in a very long time!

    ReplyDelete

  96. Ha! I love this. Boys are so refreshing...so real...so often unedited!
    Keep up the God work.

    ReplyDelete

  97. This made me laugh...my son played baseball thru college. We had plenty of 'cup' stories!!

    ReplyDelete

  98. And this is why boys crack me up. Poor kid was thoroughly grossed out....lol, so funny!

    ReplyDelete

  99. I love "cup" stories--

    One must protect what one cherishes most!
