Sunday night at our association meeting, we were discussing one of the rec leagues we do. They have a strict policy of allowing no food or drink in the school gyms, and we are charged with enforcing this. It's a pain, but we do it.
Our commissioner asked if anyone ever allowed an exception to this rule. One guy said he had a kid who was diabetic and needed to have some snack at the bench in case his glucose level dropped. We all agreed this was OK.
Then one of our younger refs said he allowed baby bottles in the gym. The commissioner said that made sense. Then the younger guy said that the reason he allowed them is that he didn't want to deal with the alternative.
As you may have guessed, we all cracked up.
