I was taking some casual pictures at my daughter's U6 game this past weekend and was sitting next to a mom who was encouraging her daughter with comments like "Kick the ball!" and "You can do it!" I thought the mom was very positive and encouraging, but all of a sudden, the girl turned around right in the middle of the game and yelled, "MOM, STOP SCREAMING AT ME!" I got a kick out of it!
I bet that's what my WIFE looked like when she was that age. I mean, I get that expression all the time. Usually when she sees my credit card bill in fact.

ps. Great stuff... very funny capture.
hahahahahahaha! That is about the most hilarious comment I've ever read!
This is a nice shot but to me points out a major concern with the little ones and organized sports. One of my grandsons gave up completely on organized sports because he was tired of being yelled at by the coaches. So far he's tried baseball, football and basketball and, at age 9, it was all about winning and not about learning - and enjoying the sport. I had to confront the coach at one of his T-ball games when they wanted to carry on with a playoff game in spite of lightning in the area.
Too many of the leagues take the fun out of it for kids - and parents.
Not to take away from the shot because it is priceless and as Paul said, probably marketable.
... i bet that shut mom up.
