I was a deacon in the church I grew up in and attended until my divorce,another story for later,and we had a multi-purpose room/gym and I was in charge of keeping the balls and stuff locked up when we had meals and pot lucks.You would think I was Hitler the way the kids acted when they weren't allowed to have the balls out while a meal was going on,they think they deserve to do anything they want anytime they want.One time while I was gone somebody got the balls out for them and a lady visiting for a function was smacked dead in the face by a ball some kid kicked and neither the kid or the parents of the kid offered an apology and the church ended up paying for a Dr. bill for the lady.The church board just lets the kids run wild and doesn't even lock the balls up anymore after I left.
