About
Coachie was an authority figure invented by my son to overrule me. Whenever I made an unreasonable request, like “Marty please put that popsicle stick in the trash” he would grab the closest inanimate object, dial up Coachie:
“Hi Coachie… Uh huh, uh huh, okay, Coachie, bye.”
and then give me the news:
“Mom, Coachie says I can never put my popsicle stick in the trash”
At first I thought Coachie was funny, but now I wish he were real. It would be nice to have an authority figure (maybe Brian Wilson’s guru is available?) to whom I could refer all of the unpleasant parts of life. If anyone had a problem or trouble, they could tell it to Coachie, and I could be in charge of passing out the gummy bears.
