...You never know who could be listening!
A very funny thing happened to me at a meet, that I thought you all might get a kick out of...
We were watching some of my DDs' teammates competing recently, and in the bleachers there were 3 parents and a coach from another gym (sitting right behind me!) discussing MY DD and one of her teammates' routines at their state meet!
This coach was telling these 3 parents that she knows that the gymnasts from XXXXX gym always score well on xxxxx(event)...so she watched them at states on that event. She even mentioned their scores!!!! She said it is no wonder that they do that well because their routines show little difficulty...that they do the bare minimum, and that they will be in for a shock when they hit the next level....
I sat there biting my tongue and laughing quietly with another mom that was sitting next to me. This coach was blatantly lying-- as my DD and her teammate actually have more difficulty than required for their own level! Teammate's routine actually already meets all requirements for the next level!...my DD has one simple skill to add in and she will be all set!
I actually found myself feeling bad for these parents that they were being lied to (for what reason I have no clue!), and for the coach, that she felt the need to lie to the parents! I am sure she had absolutely no clue, that there was any chance at all, that the parent of one of the children she was discussing would be sitting SMACK IN FRONT OF HER!!!!
LOL!!!!
