Situation 4:
Mom and Dad Have a Talk
He sure is growing up fast.
Tell me about it.He seems to change every month.
What do think about him playing team basketball?
I'm worried that he'll neglect school and get too involved in
athletics and all the other distractions that come
with playing sports.
Oh, I don't know.I know I sounded negative
about it just now with Robert,but actually,I'm happy
he's playing.1 played sports from middle school on and it didn't hurt my
grades.
Are you serious?You were lucky to graduate from high school!
I got good grades at university.Besides, kids should get more out of middle
and high schoo1 than books and tests.
But this is the age where he will developc most of his habits;
both good and bad.What if be ends up liking sports more than school?
So what?You say that as if it is the cud of the world.When I was his age all
I cared about was sports and girls and look at me;I turned out just fine.
That is because you didn't have-any luck at eiher sports or girls and realized you bad
better study when you went to college.
Careful!When you say I didn't have any luck with women that could mean
I was unlucky to have married you.
All right,I'll admit that after you entered university you got
your act together.But, what are we going to do about Robert?
Nothing.As it is,he is doing fine in school and so we will give him a chanceand
see if he can handle both basketball and his studies.Who knows? We may have
a future NBA star for a son.
