Yes Gomer.

Our 6U team won the league this year. But after every game, the kids would ask "did we win"? Lol. They just wanted a drink and snack. But the parents act like they've bet the farm and lively hood on the out come of a 6U game. Screaming and yelling like wild banshee's. Excuse me Ma'am, Sir....um he's 5 years old. Chill. But I've been known to have uncontrolled outbursts as well.
