One of my coworkers is a soccer mom. Her 3 boys have all played it from the time they were small through high school. The oldest had a scholarship but he blew it before graduating h.s. when he got into some trouble. Boy #2 just entered college to play ball. Boy #3 is on the same track. She is all about soccer soccer soccer. What kills me is when they go to tournaments. She always puts it on FB. Go such and such a team when they are on the way and then we get score updates. They win often and when they lose it's always.....bad ump, other team cheated, bad calls, etc.... sigh.....Never says other team was good and they boys lost fair and square.
But the real question is does she have the little family with soccer balls on the back of her minivan?

She used to have a SUV with a big soccerball magnet on the back. After son #1 moved off and son #2 got his license she stopped transporting half the team and got a cool car. Still has a big soccer ball magnet.
You know - little hi-jack here - but have you seen those crazy people that put their kids' names all over their car? No way. Strangers don't need to know my kids names.

I see some strange stuff on cars here. For example, the whole back window stenciled saying something like in memory of Sally Joe Smith with birth and death dates and then some bible quote.

Yep. And I read or heard somewhere this is a prime way molesters pick out kids. Yeah, I know that's morbid. But when you put your whole family, the dog, the cat, on the car with everyone's name's it's not hard to lure a little kid. They just go up to your kid and say "Susie, your mom Betty asked me to pick you up today. She drives the big black van with your sister's car seat in the back. You know Cindy's car seat. I need to get you home because Spot and Fluffy miss you and are waiting on you." Gives out a lot of info...

Yep. Agree. I've never understood why people put the family member stickers on their cars, especially the ones with the names.

Well, I have the Star Wars people stickers. But no names.

We have lockers at my job and soccer mom has hers plastered from top to bottom with photos, they are held on by magnets. It's a narrow area and if someone is at their locker and someone else needs to get by it isn't unheard of to brush against other lockers. She has just put a HUGE note on her locker asking people to not mess up her pictures by rubbing against her locker. Girl who has locker next to her told her she needs to put the photos on the inside if she is so worried about them.
