Barb told the team she’d be her last year. They were an inspiration, given his self-confidence. Some of them would continue to play, hoped, but what he really knew was that they would do all good things. Some might move and some might find new options to check. “Hey, girls. I went to basketball after middle coaches screaming for years to keep my hands out the ball.” They laughed. Carl was always amazed how he would say hello to them when he meant “fuck.”

He admitted to Carl later, “Coaching is not a slap. As you discover a season is sometimes more about what you tell them that it is about moving the ball. Tell him what they need to hear to be winners. But sometimes you don’t tell him all the same things. "

Because Kathy had gone so suddenly from sex with him, Carl never understood. Teenagers can simply change directions so quickly. It was almost like she’d never been on the pill. He took Barb’s advice, of course… Don’t ask, not with your son, by the way. It made things easier, just acting like nothing ever happened, admits to Barb’s smile.

If Barb hadn’t been there to keep him together when Kathy walked away, what would he do? If he knew he was ready to make love, it was something important to know, he trained.

Andrea and Kathy had the offensive skills to be with football next year, but they decided to move on. Volleyball, maybe. Where could Drama sing? After the team’s last hug, the two returned home. Walking meant, let’s talk.

“It was weird, Andrea, that month, my father and everything,” Kathy reflects.

“Well, mom said it’s pretty normal for a father to see his son a little different when he’s changing. "

“How to stumble around, like you want to have sex with her?” asked the other.

“It’s a mid-age crisis, he said. They don’t do much unless they’re fucking heads. "

“Well, she’s right, I just banged my tits a couple of times and tried to see me naked. Masturbed like hell sometimes. Like he doesn’t even think who’s doing laundry? "

“Mother says it’s not their fault,” Andrea said. “As he said, if you let them solve themselves, it is done. The best ones still want us. Make a big deal and shit hits the fan. I’m glad you listened to her not to scare him, even though she’s just my mother. "

“So I’m ready to tell the councilman that he’s a pervert, and suddenly I’m her baby again. Go back to those kisses on the forehead! I didn’t mind if he noticed a little, you know? Like your mother told me, keep your mouth shut. "

“Don’t be stupid about why. We saw them outside the football field. Good thing mom just looked up.”

“They weren’t coming out, just kissing,” said Kathy.

“See Mom to arm? When he says it was their first kiss, I believe it, actually. Now they’re like your hamsters. Like we don’t know? Do we think we’re step sisters or what? "

“Probably,” Kathy agrees. “I’m good enough to know where my father’s head is. "

“Hey, you know Gary’s gonna take his driver’s test next month? "

Really?

“Cook, if I could just ring until 12:30, it would take me out,” Andrea bit.

“And make your little cherry, right? "

“It’s good soon, isn’t it? Maybe I should get on the pill or something? "

“Probably. Lana says they’re fine. So maybe we could double, you in front, me in the back!”

“I don’t believe it! I don’t want you to look. "

“All right. That’s how to improve curfew. I’ll tell Dad yours is changing at 12:30 and you’ll tell your mother the same as me. Then they both think it’s okay. Those two are so big on the limits! Like the world has limits? "

“The old makeup of people different from history to different people? Mother probably knows,” guess Andrea.
