Son, we need to talk

My son just texted me from Mediapolis, Iowa.

He is there for a wrestling tournament. This is the second out of state tournament in two weeks.

He finished 3-1 for the tournament, earning the bronze medal in his weight class. His record is not 8-4.

I wonder how he could have done if he didn’t have to lose SIX pounds the DAY BEFORE the tournament started?

He has been eating like a horse. He’s been doing that for quite some time.

In the past, I explained it away by saying that he was heading for a growth spurt…

but he ain’t growing!

and I don’t want him cutting a bunch of weight.

I think we are going to have a talk.
