No sleep till game time

The night before the first game so I call all the houses to check on the players. The wife persuades me against driving around the town to see if the boys are at home, pointing out that at nine and ten years old, most are probably inside by ten pm. I wish I shared her confidence. You can never be too careful these days. One mom cheerfully admits her son isn't at home because he's at a sleepover! The night before the first game!!! I thought she was kidding at first but no, she was serious. She might as well have let him go on the beer. Really? After all I’d told them about the importance of rest.  Nice one Mom, you just talked your son onto the bench tomorrow.
