Reefer Madness

Life seems to be just one dilemma after another at the moment. Normally I’m such a positive person but right now I just don’t know what to do about a really delicate situation. It all started last weekend when I had signed up to be one of the parent chaperones on and out-of-state trip that my son’s academy team was making. I guess I didn’t know that it had been set up as some sort of ‘lads and dads’ weekend and that I’d be the only mom there.

The problem really began when we packed the boys off to bed to be well rested for the next morning’s game and we settled down in the hotel bar for a relaxing beverage. I guess that maybe I was getting a little bit too much attention from the gentlemen because after a while there seemed to be an awful lot of glasses on the table and I was feeling just a little bit light headed. Fortunately our very supportive coach offered to escort me outside for a breath of fresh air to try and clear my head. I must remember to let his wife know what a helpful guy he is next time I bump into her.

So there we are standing behind the air-conditioning unit, taking in the night air, and him helpfully assisting me to adjust my lingerie, which somehow had become hopelessly twisted, when a sweet pungent odor reaches my nostrils. Someone was very definitely getting their head together out there. To my experienced nose it seems like they were using a very nice Panamanian Red too! Nice gear! I couldn’t help but sneak a little peak and that’s when the horror struck. Standing there in full club warm-ups with reefer in hand was our very own center back Jorge Norealyank. Fortunately the coach seemed to be fairly distracted at the time and didn’t see him so I coughed a little warning cough and Jorge took off into the night with our little secret.

So, what’s a girl to do? It’s a tough situation. These are heavy matters we are dealing with and not something to be taken lightly. I know that I should do the right thing and turn him in to make more roster space for my own kid, but supposing I turn him in and the whole team gets eliminated from the program?
