Mrs Horse becomes Basketball Mom
My boys are attending an American school and becoming more American every day. My youngest has a howler of an American accent - his teacher is Mrs Harderrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The latest development is my oldest boy has made the basketball team. Mrs Horse has volunteered to help out and got this note.
Dear Mrs Horse
Thank you for helping us out, much appreciated!
I have signed you up as an assistant to one of the supervisors as indicated on the sign up sheet you returned to school.
Basically what the job entails is to
1. be an assistant to the court supervisor
2. get stuff for refs, coaches, or scorers if needed (water, pencils, rasers extra score sheets) as asked by the supervisor
3. help run the free throws before each game
(Basically, before the start of each game, 5 players from each team ill each shoot a free throw. These points will count towards the final sore of the game. Each basket made is only worth one point. )
Each game is 22 minutes long. Two 10 minute halves and a 2 minute half-time. Each game is scheduled to begin on the half hour. In the 8 minutes left of each half hour, the next two teams scheduled to play come on to the court and do their free throws. You will oversee the free throws of two teams on one court while the supervisor will oversee the free throws on the other court. You and your supervisor will write the points
accumulated for the free throws on a score sheet. You will give the free throw score sheets to the scorer for that game.
Also, on the day one of the teachers will walk you through the entire process and explain it all to you. It sound complicated but really it is quite simple. Once again thanks for volunteering your time to help out.
I don't know why I found that so amusing but I did. Sounds like slavery.
This is why you should honour your parents
