SOCCER MAMAS

Big day at UCLA today! To the left were the coeds practicing cheers. To the right was the future of Soccer— our seven year old sons sweating their skull caps off in a week long Soccer camp hosted by UCLA. As I walked towards the field to attend the end of the session casual awards ceremony for camp participation, I was questioned by an imposing security guard. At that moment, a swarm of paparazzi appeared! Nearly trampled, I remarked to my friend that this camp sure knows how to make a kid feel good! And then lightning struck as we discovered that the crowds were not for our talented kids, but for the arrival of the Real Madrid team due to play a match on that same field. Sitting on the bleachers, the Soccer Mamas cheered for our children as they got their awards. I craned my head to check for the arrival of the Soccer god, Cristiano Ronaldo. My fellow hot mama and I were teasing each other and begging the security guards to send the soccer babes over to get some inspiration before the big match. No such luck and they whisked us all off the field before the arrival of the players. To top it off, neither of our boys were awarded top honors- no matter how low cut my friend’s shirt was.
