Hulk Hogan and Burritos

So, today was my son, Andrew's 1st day of wrestling. He was really stoked when he found out that he was going to get to join and I was super happy for him. Cuz he just finished with football & he really wanted to do wrestling. And I have 3 brothers who all said it would be really good for him so I wanted to make them happy too. What can I say? I'm a people pleaser lol We ended up getting there like 30 minutes early cuz I hate being late for anything. The whole time I was growing up, we were late for absolutely everything. My Mom said it was because she had 5 kids. But we were always ready, it was her who wasn't. Maybe it was because she was beautiful & wanted to make a grand entrance...Who knows? Anyway, so we were early & there were a bunch of teenagers in the gym wrestling when we got there. Well, if you could call it wrestling. They were throwing each other around mercilessly. Looked more like a fight to the death to me. Kimmy even said, "Mommy, I'm scared" lol Me too, I thought. There was this one girl that was wrestling this boy and she pile drived him into the ground like she was Hulk Hogan up in that mug. It was insane!! The boy's body contorted in such a way that I was certain he had lost a couple of vertebrae somewhere on the mat. Or maybe she was going to spit them out of her mouth at any second. She looked our way & I think we all jumped & turned away quickly. Even Juan. Heck no, Senorita! We don't want none of the burritos your serving!! lol I look over at Andrew, and seriously think of having him jump on & piggy back it the whole way home. Crap. I guess this is where I gotta be strong & let him become a man and all that other stuff that never really makes sense to me. So, I'm thinking there must be a mix up. This must be the place where they hold the work release sessions for the killer kids at the juvenile home in town. Surely "Senorita" must be the leader of the Lady Folks & that boy she just paralyzed must be a rival gang member. Yep, that's gotta be it. lol  Then Andrew's coach appears & I am informed that we are in the right place. Whoa. I guess it's true what they say about corn fed country people cuz I have seen a ton of fights in Saginaw & I ain't never seen nothing like that before. So, despite the fact that I wanna run, I'm thinking that if we live in a town with characters as rough as these, Andrew may need to stick around & get some pointers on self defense. Otherwise, he might end up getting his butt kicked by "Senorita's" little sister Baby Bertha. The killers eventually leave & the younger kids start coming in. Andrew's looking around the whole time like,"What the heck am I doing here?" I could tell he felt so out of place. They had all been in wrestling previously, so they went straight to the mats & started wrestling. Next thing I know, Andrew's eyes start watering up. So, being the loving Mother that I am, I take him outside & tell him,"Forget about these people Andrew. Don't worry. You're gonna kick their butts!" Hey, what can I say? Just trying to make him feel better after the whole Burrito Fiasco. Anyway, it seemed to work. He wiped his tears & in he went. Then the coach takes them all to do laps for about 20 minutes & I run out to the van to take a puff off a cigarette. I know, I know...but I was stressed!! When they finally came back, Andrew's whole frickin face was beet red!! Except for around his mouth...that was pure white. Let's just say  it wasn't looking good for my little man. Then they made them exercise 30 minutes more & I started feeling the guilt set in. What the heck had I signed him up for? Boot camp? The Marines? They had to run in place & then throw their little bodies to the ground & get back up & do it again & again...I think I lost about 8 lbs just watching them. In fact, I am certain the snickers bar I had for lunch melted completely off me! Finally, they start to teach some moves. Stances & other stuff I'm not to sure about. But Andrew seemed to be enjoying it, so I started to relax a little. Relaxing...Checking out the other kids. Sizing em up & what have you, when all of a sudden I see this kid ( don't know his name so we'll call him....Poncho. That's what Juan calls every random person that he doesn't know the name of. Well, that & Senorita of course) So I see Poncho take his elbow & elbow this other kid in the back!! Repeatedly! And there are like 50 kids here so the coach doesn't see it. But Poncho's Mom does & laughs, like "Hehehe, my kid is so spunky! Hehe look at him elbow that other kid in the back!!I'm so proud!" Seriously, she was laughing! And, I might add, her teeth were stinkin nasty! Just sayin!! LOL So, out of complete disgust, I give her a dirty look & think if Poncho did that to my kid, I might have to show HER just how funny it is to be elbowed over & over again in the back...!! After 2 1/2 hours it finally ended, with Kimmy sleeping on the dirty floor, Bella having to pee "Supa, Supa Bad!" and Andrew happy. That was all I wanted in the 1st place. Andrew happy. I'm a people pleaser, what can I say? lol
