I'd forgive the mayor if he were mad at my son. After all, my son kicked his son's butt. In basketball. Turns out my son's WCSS eigth grade "B" team played at St. Sebastian's in Milwaukee yesterday. And who did we see popping popcorn? That's right, Mayor Tom Barrett! Thought he might be working odd jobs to get to know his constituency better, but really what he was doing was the same thing I did last weekend; he was volunteering his time at his son's game.
My son Nick was having a great day Saturday and my mom, sister and I were there in the small gym to cheer him on. We had front row seats and were just inches away from the court and the action. It admittedly was a low scoring game to begin with but, not to brag or anything, my son scored more points than the entire opposing team. Did I happen to mention that my son is bigger than me?
It was a sweet victory and the popcorn wasn't bad either.
