Rachel made it to her soccer banquet tonight - riding high on hydrocodon!
It is the tradition for the team captains to give each teammate a special award. My favorite was to a slim girl with a big appetite. She was recognized for "never finding a calorie she didn't like."
Rachel was recognized by her captains for "being in tune with nature . . . ability to weave a splendid headband from nearby grass . . . natural beauty . . . best hair on the team . . . " and given The Goddess Award.
Her coach gave her and another injured teammate trophies inscribed with "Fakin' It Award." He said that these girls came to every practice and supported their teammates and cheered them at games - knowing they could not participate on the field. He said that some people asked him if they were faking it. "Well, they both had surgery last Wednesday," he said, "so I doubt it." Some parents laughed at his story. I just wanted to know who thought my daughter was faking an injury and punch them in the gut.
I'd probably get the Tanya Harding Award.
