Relatives

...and even though it was a baseball game, it fits on this topic.

A few years ago, I got a call from a high school needing an emergency fill-in. I taught at the high school that the home team was playing. I also had a couple of nephews that played for the at which I taught. I made sure the school A.D. knew this, and he said he nor the head coach had problems with this, so I took the game.

I called my wife before I left for the game letting her know where I would be that evening. Her response, and I'm not joking, was "Are you going to ride the team bus to the game?" She was dead serious when she asked that! I had to explain to her that it might be a good idea to not do that.
