VIP

VIP is the head coach for our Motherwell site.  The first time we met him he told us he was 34...he's actually our age.  He says they call him VIP because he always looks like a VIP.  He really likes to dress nicely.  Here is my most ridiculous VIP story to date:

We are sitting in the office, there isn't much working going on, and this little boy is standing outside our burglar gate.  His mom was working in an office down the hall or something and this 4 year old boy was loving just standing at our door and watching us.  VIP noticed that this kid was wearing red skinny jeans and decided that he was worthy of his time.  He opened the burglar and brought the kid into the office.  He then continued to give the kid "player lessons".  He was telling him how to introduce himself, to lie about his age (no girl wants a 4 year old), and how to blow kisses. It was pretty hilarious.  It ended with this child down on one knee and holding VIP's ring.  Ridiculous.
