All-Star Awesome Parent Commentary

[12stepCheermom]

Maybe it's the revitalization of Cheer Perfection, but I get a little tired of being labeled "crazy" just because I have two kids that cheer.

C'mon folks...all cheer parents are not the dreaded "crazy cheer mom..." At least not all the time.

So, here's a thread for awesome, funny things you, your parents, or your friends have said while supporting your kids at practice and/or competition. I'll start with the line that had us all in stitches at this past week's open gym.

My princess and her cp are best friends. Everyone calls them salt and pepper for obvious reasons, as well as, the fact you never see one without the other. Pepper's mom and I are good friends so we tend to sit together in the parent section and chat during practice.

Pepper comes off the floor...."Mom! You got a dollar!?"
Pepper's mom gives the slow head turn and eyebrow raise...."Pepper...you got a job!?"

Freaking hilarious.

Whatyougot?!

I heard the funniest conversation between one of my J3 girls and her mom the other night at practice:

Girl: But mom I really really want to get those pair of boots
Mom: Aww honey, I really really want you to get your tuck so it looks like me, you and your coach aren't getting what we want for Christmas.

DONE. I tried to conceal my smile.

Along the lines of the post above this one, spoken by a fellow team mom at last night's practice:

CP: Mom, is Santa bringing me my iPhone for Christmas?
Mom: Has Santa seen you do a back walkover yet?

I had to LOL at that one, because I also fully admit to bribing my child. I've taken to offering "incentives" this season to make sure she fights for her stunts, being a flyer now. She decided to annouce to her coaches before warm-ups in Indy that "Mommy is giving me $5 to keep my butt off the ground!" Love my 8-year-old's complete lack of an internal filter.

From 2 days ago:
CP: (As she digs in her cheer back pack for cheer shoes sitting on the floor in front of several parents) whines, "Mom what is this pile of tissue and stuff in my bag?"
Me: "It's for your shoes. It's tissue that has been soaked in Febreeze."
Coach: (While walking by during this conversation) "YEA!!!!!" (and claps....)
CP: (Turns about 4 shades of red.)
Parents: Dying laughing.

Ha ha ha ha :D

My CP has stinky feet too. I carry those huge XL ziplock bag's when we compete to put her socks, shoes and ankle brace in to pack them back up otherwise everything in her suitcase will smell like feet. I also always have febreeze and spray it all down before it goes into the bag.


I will have to think of some funny stories. I can't wait to read everybody else's stories too!!!

As soon as I would start to freak out about throwing a skill, my mom would take my phone away until I did it. There was no such thing as a mental block when I was living at home!

Father (1) in parent room: This is the most worthless, expensive activity ever created. My daughter was so talented in basketball and she left it for this.

Father (2) in parent room: My wife used to play HS basketball; she hasn't picked up a basketball since she graduated. She has, however, been the cheerleader for our family every single day we've been married.

That is just about the best thing I've ever heard! (Maybe because the only thing I contributed to my HS basketball team was supporting my teammates from the bench.)

I've been using this one since she was 4:

(while doing hair and makeup) "Ouch, Mom! That's too tight! It hurts!"
Me: "If it doesn't hurt, it's not done right."

I think all Cheer Shoes hold in the "smell"..Try Sneaker Balls, they seem to work well.

I don't know if anyone else finds it funny..I'm a little OCD, but doesn't make me crazy.

I over hear a cp at a comp telling her mom she got her monthly friend. Mom turns to her and says:
Go ask Mrs. P, she has everything in that bag of hers and before she finished her sentence I handed her my special pink bag of an assortment of female needs.

Being prepared doesn't make me crazy:)
