PHYSCO Cadillac

Well it is official!! I knew it was going to happen, you hear about it all the time, I thought we had awhile but NoOOooOo the time is here the "PHYSCO Cadillac" dad has appeared..yess sir ree.
So let me start from the beginning and tell you Cooper is taking swimming lessons again. So we show up for the first day of class kinda early and this cute little boy is there waiting by the little colored sign assigned to our class. His parents are standing there as well and we introduce the kiddos and say hi to each other and they seem pretty nice and normal. The teacher comes over ask the kiddos names and in order to waste a little time decides to throw little plastic balls. So Cooper gets the ball and rares back and throws an over hand ball and it goes past the teacher an ok throw... Next thing I hear is ok Joseph your turn..he is all timid and kinda flubs the ball. Dad has a vein that kinda pops out on his forehead "come on Joseph you know how to throw a ball overhand"..meanwhile my kid has bent down grabbing a grasshopper and doing his own thing. The dad leans over and says I coach t-ball, pop warner football, and soccer..Cooper speaks up and says I play t-ball too. I am like shhhh Cooper he will eat you for dinner dude! I kinda grin at the guy and say umm yeah great.. next thing I know class is starting out of no where come about 10 family members of Joseph's. Looks like a big ole Lebanese family. Grandma has a camera going, the mother just kept this smile painted on her face the whole time prolly out of embarrassment. The teacher was trying to get a feel for these kids and their level of ability I guess and ask them to scoop their hands, physco dad leans over to whisper to mom like watch this he is good he knows how to do this. Cooper of course jumps off the step and swims off into never never land. Now it is Joseph's turn..Joseph didn't do so well... so all of a sudden I hear the dad from the hot tub located beside the little pool that we were taking lessons in "JOSEPH YOU KNOW HOW TO DO SCOOPS".... ok so the kid had not even stepped off the kiddie step..poor kid. Look over and here comes the beast out of the hot tub the vein fully out of the forehead... "JOSEPH YOU KNOW HOW TO DO SCOOPS" ... I felt so bad for this kid he is for sure going to have a rough childhood. he had a rough class the dad didn't let up even after class was over the dad went nad had a talk witht he teacher...dude seriously it is a damn swimming class not the olympics and he is 3 for gods sake. The dad had to be that band nerd who the minute he had a kid signed him up for every sport (yeah at the age of 3)and now is the coach to ensure he is hopefully the cool kid. Shewwww I know it is going to get much worse as my boys get older and continue to play sports but I totally sit back in amazement as this guy went bozo pulling up his coaching shorts every 5 seconds on his shaved ass chest and pushing up his nerd glasses and pacing the floor sucking in his gut and trying not to look down to see if it was in far enough...we still have 3 weeks left of swimming lessons oh lord please give me the strength to keep my mouth closed.
