ATL Braves Fans

Last Thursday, the Braves played the Marlins at home and I was able to see it with some friends. The start of Braves games means summer is right around the corner! But, it seemed this Thursday summer had already started apparently for some kids. The game was at 12pm...Yes, that's the AFTERNOON, and last time I checked children should be in a thing called school on a weekday, such as Thursday. Needless to say many weren't! My friends and I were amazed by how many parents let their children skip school to attend the game. It ranged in all ages, from elementary kids to high school aged kids. It was crazy. As we were waiting in line my boyfriend made the comment, "Man, I wish my parents let me skip school when I was younger to come see the Braves play." He said it loud enough for the lady across from us to hear, who had brought her child to the game, and she just smiled at us. What are these parents thinking?? I mean it's one thing to do for a special reason or occasion, but were they? Highly doubt it! I mean the kids had their friends with them too!! It was crazy to see that many kids at a Braves game on a school day to say the least and I just couldn't and can't get over it!
