During a little league baseball game, the coach asked one of his young players: "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"
The little boy nodded yes.
"Do you understand that what matters is winning together as a team?"
The little boy nodded yes.
"So when a strike is called, or you are out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?"
Again, the boy nodded yes.
"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain it to your mother."
The little boy nodded yes.
