Mad Mom Land

On Saturday, May 19, 2007, while on a bike ride I came upon this basketball fest (for youngsters and teens) taking place on the parking lot of the La Crosse YMCA. While stopping to take a few pics for the local history record I was annoyed to hear a mother on the sidelines screaming her head off at her son who looked to be about 10-years-old. Shouts of "Jason (name changed to protect the innocent), get your act together!!!" and "Jason, guard the ball, what are you doing?!!!" filled the air. Needless to say, Jason did not look like he was enjoying the attention from his mother. Gee, Mom, lighten up and let your kid have some fun. After all, this was practice basketball, not the NBA Finals.
