Some of you might not know that I live in Oklahoma, and the first thing you think of when you hear Oklahoma is probably "bad dental plans," followed closely by "mullets." You're right on both accounts, but what I was really looking for was "rednecks with mad soccer skills." Nice try, thanks for playing!
I have 2 boys playing soccer this year, and when I say they're playing soccer, I mean they're being coached like the kids are defending the World Cup against Brazilian soccer cyborgs. I mean seriously, the kids are 4 and 7 and they're running practices close to 2 hours in length! Anyway, since I'm the prototypical ex-jock dad (read that as never played soccer and don't understand why there's so much running) I tend to get easily distracted at the practices. And that's how I got to meet Nickelodean celebrities Drake and Josh. Kinda.
I spent a majority of the scrimmage talking to two 8 year old kids who told me their names were "Drake and Josh." I called shenanigans on this. The kid who said his name was Josh then decided to claim that his name was "Gake" and I again called shenanigans. I was finally informed his name was "Jake" and since I rarely call shenanigans more than twice a day, I decided to let it slide. So Drake and Jake explained to me that the funniest thing ever would be to put a Sweet Tart in my water bottle. I told them the funniest thing ever could probably be found on YouTube. Jake then promptly ran onto the field, grabbed the soccer ball that was in play, kicked it into the water filled ditch and ran off with Drake. I assume that this kid is on the fast track to a life of breaking girls' hearts and eventually being arrested for fraud and embezzlement. Anyway, Drake and Jake were some pretty cool dudes who provided me with some quality entertainment, because let's be honest, seeing some of the best amateur athletes in the eastern Oklahoma area can get pretty boring.
