Basketball Blowout

I'm hoping if I write about this I will be able to just let it go. Seeing as tomorrow is the first Sunday of the new year, today I had to go to the church and change the bulletin board in the primary room to reflect the theme of the new year. Dr. J and the kids came along for moral support. When we got there we realized the parking lot was fairly full. It turned out there was a basketball game going on for boys. I'm not sure how old they were. They looked ten to me which means they were probably at least twelve. Shortly after arriving little E grew bored and wanted to watch the basketball game. Dr. J took him and I finished putting up the board. I then went out into the hall to put my leftover supplies in the closet and try and find the manuals I'd need to pass out in the morning. While standing on a chair in front of the closet Dr. J and little E came out to get a drink, along with two members of one of the teams (apparently the team that was getting beat down, Dr. J just told me the score was 23:1 after twenty minutes of play and they had only shot the ball four times). Dr. J said to the boys, "you should keep your hands up." Then he and little E went off. About two seconds later one of the moms came out to talk to the boys. The boys said, "There was this guy, one of the dad's from the other team with a hat on and he told us we sucked and that we should keep our hands up." Then the mom said, "How rude. You guys are playing really hard....and so forth." So then I went in to get the kids and Dr. J and told him he had caused quite a fiasco. Next thing I know some other mom comes in and says, "Come here." to Dr. J. Then she goes on about how she is livid that he would upset the boys and that one wasn't a member and the mom wasn't a member and how could a member do this. And Dr. J says, "I just told them to put their arms up because it would help." And the mom says, "Well you shouldn't have said anything and they have coaches to do that. They are really upset." And Dr. J says, "Well of course they are upset they are getting creamed." And it kind of went on like this for awhile until I finally had to come over because the whole thing was ridiculous and I told her, "You know he made one comment trying to be helpful and he did not tell them they sucked and their is a little overreacting here." And then there was a "Well I know I didn't hear it but I'm just ashamed you are member," kind of deal. Honestly the whole thing was ridiculous. I can't decide who I'm grouchier at 1) My husband who started the whole thing. I mean honestly I realize he was trying to be helpful but he doesn't know the kids, they don't know him and how often is helpfulness taken the wrong way or 2) The kids who overreacted or 3) The moms who instead of saying, "Maybe that is a good idea." or "Hey guys that was rude but let's get back to the game." or "Whatever" felt it was their duty to come and throw out the "I'm ashamed to be a member with you." The irony of course is that little E ran away and I did four rounds searching the church for him and more then once heard the coach yell "Brody gets your arms up."
