KINGWOOD, TX – You remember the old phrase ‘April showers bring May flowers.’ But this year at the KWFCBA, April showers have instead blossomed a brutal schedule of make-up games for the travel weary Oberata Blue Jays – one that includes a whopping seven games in the final 14 days of the season.

And a hellacious blitzkrieg of washing and drying uniforms.

As battle-weary parents demanded answers from the KWFCBA, team spiritual advisor Gretchen Ellisor has organized a laundry co-op for parents.  Free samples of Tide and Clorox have been donated by HEB, and a support group has been spearheaded for any parent who feels they are “at critical mass.”

“We’ve got mud on our shoes, in our cars, in our houses, and of course all over our clothes,” Gretchen laughs.  ”But I don’t know how much more laundry I can take.  Our water bill is up 18%, and we haven’t even watered our lawn.”

Blue Jay moms have already taken action to repeal the Clean Uniform Act of 1983, which stated that all team uniforms must be 90% free of green or brown smudges.  

“I don’t know who made that rule,” said mom Katie Sniderwin.  ”But it’s dumb.”

All the time spent in the washroom has paid off, however.  The little tykes have been just plain dazzling on the field, and all the amazing feats have been performed in almost-clean uniforms.  Here’s the photo evidence:

Blue Jays exhibit preparedness by stretching, crouching, and paying attention to Coach!

“Hydrating is fun!”

Onward Blue Jays!
