The Wussification of our Youth

We had this massive rainstorm Friday night. It was huge. There were tornado warnings, hail, and driving rain. It hit fast and just as quickly, it was over.

Saturday, we had picture day for all the YMCA league teams. Our pictures were at 1PM and game time was 2PM.

We get to the picture location, where the coach announced that because all the fields were a little muddy, all games for all sports had been cancelled for the day.

Are you kidding me? Seriously. What's wrong with kids running around and getting a little muddy? It was hot outside, so once they're done, you hose them off and let 'em go swimming. Are we that afraid of getting our pristine clothes dirty that we are no longer allowing kids to be kids?

I'm afraid so.
