But, I keep my mouth shut during those sub varsity games. Instead of whispering to my wife, I just give her that glance...that look...and she knows what I'm thinking about the officiating/situation.

We're human...and proud parents.
What is really bad is if someone else knows you are an official and ask (basically) "What the hell was that?" I usually just fall back on "They were right there and had a good look. Our perspective up here is completely different."

This past weekend, I attended a fundraiser put on by one of our local high schools to support the basketball program. $20 a plate gets you a great Hawaiian dinner and Luau. My wife and I attended at a cost of $40. I ran into one of my fellow officials at the Luau, and he said, "Don't think of this as a $40 date, think of it as a temporary loan to the program." :D
