How do I ask?

[Navi]

First off:
To people who have replied to my other posts, I'm sorry I didn't reply back, school is in session and been busy.

Anyway, I need some advice:
I want to ask mom a few questions:
1. I want to play some sport.
2. I want to join the Scouts.
The reason I want to do these is because I need to lose weight, give me more to do (like camp), and to meet new people.
I am very mad at my dad, and talking to mom about this seems weird. (parents divorced)
How could I ask mom without being weird?
Any tips on what to do? Thank you

what make u think any of your reason r weird - seem normal to me
playing sport and the scouts are a good thing - your mom should not have
any problem with them. not like u are asking her to join an under ground crime group

Just ask her that you want to get into that, you don't have to tell her that it's because you want to loose weight and why would you think it would sound weird?

It's hard to explain 'weird', I mean it just seems odd to have sudden interest in activities I usually don't do. It's kinda hard to explain it.
