Dear Mom and Dad,

 I hope you won't get mad at me for writing this letter but you always told me never to keep anything back, so here it goes.

Remember the other morning when my team was playing and both of you were watching? Well, Mom and Dad.   I hope you won't get mad, but you kind of embarrassed me.

Remember when I went after the puck in front of the net trying to score and I fell down?  Well Mom I could hear you yelling at the goalie for getting in my way.  It wasn't even his fault.  That is what he is supposed to do.

Then do you remember yelling at me to get on the other side of the blue-line.  Well, Mom I just didn't know what to do because the coach told me to cover my man, and I couldn't if I listened to you.  So while I was trying to decide what to do they scored against us.  Then you yelled at me for being in the wrong place.

But, what really got me was what happened after the game.  You should not have jumped all over the coach for pulling me off the ice.  He's a pretty good hockey coach and he knows what he was doing.  Besides, he is just a volunteer trying to help us kids out.

And then neither of you spoke to me the whole way home.  I guess you were pretty mad at me for not getting a goal.  I tried really hard but I guess I'm not a good player.  But I love to play Hockey.  It's a lot of fun being with the other kids and learning to compete in a real good sport.

But Mom and Dad, how can I learn if you don't show me a good example? And, anyway, I thought I was playing hockey for fun; to have a good time; and learn good sportsmanship.

I didn't know you were going to get so mad when I didn't become a star.

Love,

Your Kid
