I was coming to post this. I know which plugs work at all convention centers we go to. I've met a lot if nice parents while waiting for my phone to charge. A true true cheer parent has extra batteries on hand and wouldn't buy an iPhone for that reason.
I tried explaining that to my husband, he doesn't get it. I have an HTC EVO. I carry 6 charged batteries (4 regular and 2 extended) to every competition. Gotta update other cheer moms, read Fierce boards and Check scores and videos. This is really sick. We all need an intervention. LMAO!!!!
Another one is that you know parents of kids on most teams and refer to those teams as so and so's child's team. My daughter just came downstairs and I said " sharkdad's daughter and her team won the free uniforms at BATB!" she rolled her eyes and said I know from Facebook mom.
