We had a family in our town that did the full swap. Started out where everyone was best friends - husbands best friends, wives best friends, kids the same age and best friends. Live across the street from each other. They went on vacations together for years. You name it.

Standard story. On spring break someone sees a text. The whole thing comes unwound. The two cheaters confess their love for each other and say they want divorces. Unbelievably they all load up in a sprinter van and drive back from Florida together.

The cheaters end up married. The leave behinds start hanging out to commiserate. Next thing you know they get married. The husbands swap houses - the wives and kids stay put.

Kids stay best friends. Wives are cordial. Husbands hate each other.

I was president of local hockey association. Every month during the season I would grab beers with all the other presidents in the area.

I told the story thinking it would be unique.

Wilmette president - oh yeah, we have one of those.

Winnetka president - yeah we do too.

Northbrook president- we had 3 families that played musical chairs. 4 of the 6 remarried each other. The guy that was left out was a big fat slob, but he is rich as hell. The left out woman is hot, but she has family money so she didn't need the fat guy. But she is banging a bunch of other dads.

The stories don't end there. So many moms sleep with coaches - sometimes ridiculously young assistant coaches.

There have even been broke back mountain situations as well with Dads that got caught together.

Youth hockey seems to bring that shit out. Lots of travel and hotels in the winter with nothing to do but drink.

Back to the board

    - All the floor traders on the MIAX are 50 yr old divorcees from the AMEX floor, living in Brickell, and dating 25 to 35 yr old Latinas.* - By crumbs September 24, 2026 at 01:13:02 PM
