The Epitome of
"Keeping up with the Jones's"
has to be soccer. Every family is slowly deceived into believing that their kid will miss out in some way if they don't
waste
every Saturday of Fall and a few nights during the week chasing the soccer dream. Wait, what soccer dream. There is no college glory or millions in pros!! No endorsements (speaking U.S. here)!! Not even hanging out with friends when you are older and playing soccer!!
Ever heard of a pick up game of soccer??
And yet we sign up the little ones and give up our Saturdays. Driving our kids around in the souped up SUVs, taking pictures of poorly played games, giving them snacks (crap) after the game; not to mention forcing the younger siblings to oblige in "watching" the game. Of course since this is what everyone does it must be better than working as a family (yard service), cleaning the house (house cleaners) and fixing things (handy man). Somehow our kids are better for soccer.....
Yeah whatever here are the pictures..
