Unusual "kid" happenings.

[Smitty37]

Did you have any funny or unusual things happen with your children - we sure did.

We have 4 daughters and all were three season athletes in high school. When our eldest daughter was a senior, the middle a junior and our twins sophmores they all played basketball. Three played varsity all year and one played JV. After the regular season the varsity advanced to sectionals and the coach moved our daughter and another JV to varsity for the sectional games so all 4 were suited up for what turned out to be the final game of the year for them.

The coach, who besides being their coach was (and still is) a long time family friend dating back to when she was in high school, decided as a lark to start all four of our girls.

The introductions went like this.

For Tioga Starting at guard number 10 Peggy Smith

Starting at guard number 13 Linda Smith

Starting at guard number 14 Nancy Smith

Starting at forward number 11 Margo Smith

Starting at forward number 6 Kelly Vallalee

A woman in front of us (who happend to be the daughter of the teacher who had 3 of our girls in kindergarten) remarked to her companion.

"I bet her maiden name was Smith." I almost fell out of the bleachers laughing.

When my twins were seniors they were both starting field hocky players and their team had won the league championship and were in the first game of the sectionals.

The game was going back and forth with the other team ahead when our daughter scored a goal to tie the game. Later near the end of the game it was still tied and our daughter had control of the ball I yelled "Margo if you score again you can have the car for a week." She went down the field so fast that after she made the shot and scored she couldn't stop and took down the opposing goalie and the goal and ended up tangled in the net.
