Mrs S uses the "I'm actually older than most of the mothers" excuse.
Went to the lads sports day and even if i was a mere 21 I'd have been older than most others.
I think sports day is awesome, or let me put it another way, the boy got two firsts and a second. He then ignored the mothers race (she must have bribed him) and dragged me up for the dads. I couldn't say no and finished second, a moral victory as i actually applied the brakes 5 yards short of the line. The 'winner' hit the 3 foot high fence and landed in the nettles on the other side
. Also, given the angle the boy was at he believes I've won and 10 days later still hails me as his hero
