She takes on several roles depending on the season:
Football Mom: This mom comes to games sporting her sons practice jersey carrying a large cowbell and a poster with his name in glitter. Sometimes she brings a foghorn but only during playoffs.
When her son does something good she can be heard yelling: “You da man Cuatro Uno!
During the game she may appraoch the coaches and offer a shoulder rub or a damp towel while reminding them her son hasn’t gotten all his playing time in, and oh, he really likes to play offense instead of defense.
She is hardcore but still manages to yell down to her son to tie his cleats tighter and go to the bathroom before halftime is over.
Baseball Mom: She is especially offensive in the 4-7 year old leagues but generally offensive no matter where you encounter her. She is wearing in a team jersey that says “Billy’s Mom” and has photo pins of the last 3 seasons on her left shoulder.
She has a plastic mini megaphone and she ain’t afraid to use it. Especially when yelling things at the umpire such as: “Is there an optomotrist in the house?!”
She leaves the ballpark with an imprint of the fence on her forehead due to hopping off the bleachers, pressing her face against the fence and yelling “run . . . RUN!”
