Head Bangin'

"Mommie, I want to play tackle football". 

These are the words I've been dreading to hear since my baby boys were born. Sure I love watching college football and I understand the fascination of rooting for a professional team. However, with all the recent discoveries of head injuries incurred on the football field and the affects it has on the players later in life, I prefer MY boys not play a sport where they are constantly running their heads into brick walls. Call me crazy!

Nonetheless, today marks the 5th, yes, 5th time this year I've gotten a call from Nurse Betty saying that Reed has some how or another smashed his head into some flagrant object on the playground, in the hallway, etc. I'm beginning to think he'd be safer ON the football field, at least he would be wearing a helmet!!!
