Child Falls in with Bad Crowd, Mother Implicated

Oh dear. I sent an email joking that I wasn’t questioning anyone’s parenting skills, but it looks like one of their children has fallen in with the wrong crowd, and, well, maybe this is something to investigate. My friend is originally from Boston, so I actually figured she was the one who was responsible for misguiding her daughter. What I wasn’t expecting was this:

“…I absolutely love the Yankees!!!! Despite my efforts to convince her otherwise, she’s gone with her best friend, [name omitted], on this one.”

:-O

Say it isn’t so. Dear reader, you might think that she was messing with me, knowing my leanings, but actually, somehow over the years, the topic of baseball has never come up. I briefly considered the possibility of an intervention, but realized that after a certain point, a person is lost and you just have to accept him or her as is. Her daughter, though, she may still have a future.
