Coach

 At one point during a game, the coach called one of his
 7-year-old baseball players aside and asked, "Do you
 understand what cooperation is? What a team is?" The
 little boy nodded in the affirmative. "Do you understand
 that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a
 team?" The little boy nodded yes. "So," the coach
 continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you
 shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a
 pecker-head. Do you understand all that?" Again the little
 boy nodded. He continued, "And when I take you out of the
 game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good
 sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb jerk' is it?"
 Again the little boy nodded. "Good," said the coach.
 "Now go over there and explain all that to your mother."
