Going to Watch My Son Play Football With The Wife In My Snickers Jacket

My name is Mike and I’m a rep for many different work wear companies one in particular that I like to wear while going to watch my young son play football is Snickers brand as to me the very best that a jacket has to offer in terms of protection from the weather, it is 100% windproof and water proof which comes in handy on those cold winter day spent shouting encouragement from the touchlines. The football season for my sons under 11 side had started again and it was time to brave the weather in my cozy Snickers jacket and go and support him something I have been doing since he started 2 years ago which unfortunately cannot be said about his mother who had not been to many games as the last time she went which was approximately a year ago she totally embarrassed my son by arguing with the referee and shouting at one of the opposing team dad because his son had fouled our boy Kenny, this was all too much for little Kenny & me as I tried to hid inside my Snickers jacket, so he delicately told his mum at home that he needed to concentrate on the game and maybe it would be better she stay at home and relax and put her feet up.

Kenny had started to interest local scouts for some big teams because he was a left footer and extraordinarily quick, he need to fill out in his later years if he wanted to make it to the top but all the tools were there vision, passing, pace and never give in attitude, so my wife wanted to go and watch him again, she promised little Kenny that she would hold her tongue and not say a word because for his mum the thought of her son potentially playing for a big football club was to big of a deal to mess up.

It was 10.30am and time to go to the match, I put my usual Snickers jacket on and my wife came downstairs hair done makeup on and dressed to impress if we were going on a night out that is, so I quickly told her that maybe you need to change and put some warm clothes on and a spare snickers waterproof jacket I had as the weather can get a bit crazy out there in the middle of a field with no shelter, this was met by utter contempt by my wife, look she said pushing the curtains back in the front room the weather looks good to me out there are you mad.

The match kicked off and my wife was true to her word she kept very quite as to no embarrass little Kenny again I was shouting encouragement from the sidelines as per usual, then all of a sudden the wind started to pick up and because it was winter it was very cold, I was completely comfortable as I had on my Snickers jacket but I knew it was cold because my hands were freezing as I had forgotten my gloves, at this point I turned around to my wife who was blowing hard out of her mouth to fight the cold, are you alright love I said yes I am fine she answered in an angry voice, that very second I said it the rain started coming down in buckets so I slipped off to the car were I had put the spare Snickers jacket and brought it out for my wife, as I approached her I said do you still think I’m crazy darling, yes she replied you didn’t bring any gloves.
