The Back Row Kids

Everyone knows to be careful about the kids that choose the back row.

We found out yesterday that those of us who will be driving the team vans at North Central had to go to a 2-hour long safety training that is new for the school this year.

We weren't excited.  We've all watched the videos and taken the large van specific tests before and now adding another 2-hour class with just a day's notice wasn't high on our excitment list.

Especially after a day that started at 6:00 a.m. and now wouldn't be over until 9:00 at night.  Tomorrow's 6:00 a.m. practice will feel especially early to me.

That said, the men's soccer representatives filled the back row for this particular class.  We texted jokes to each other and played games on our phones, listening occassionally as well, and filling out all the parts of the packet as we went along.

I actually had a joke at one point that caused someone to spit out the water in their mouth and awesomely disrupt the class.  It was a boy joke, so we couldn't repeat it to everyone, but we did then text most of the men in the room.

Fortunately, we didn't get reprimanded for our "back row" behavior.  Even the guy teaching the class didn't like the new insurance requirment.
