My husband wound up bringing them because he is a softy but I thought it would teach her a lesson to have to sit through practice on the side because she forgot her clothes.

Good for you for rising above that. <br /><br />Lori@<br />www.hintonrae.wordpress.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02815467652400565214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491799193672497027.post-52333244702080924782010-02-01T16:30:17.393-05:002010-02-01T16:30:17.393-05:00I understand what you are saying Mr. Putz.
