Coaching from the Sideline

A mother was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her son. Suddenly the boy bursts into the kitchen.

"Careful! Careful! Put in some more butter! Oh my goodness! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful! ... CAREFUL! I said CAREFUL! Don't forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!"

The mother stared at him. "What's wrong with you? Don't you think I know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The son calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm playing soccer."
