Lead On

The sport my second granddaughter chose to play was soccer.  She was not good. 

The way she ran was to push her stomach out and follow it. Her favorite position to play was goalie. She did not have to run but was very much a part of the game.

Like most of the females in our family she is bossy. We like things done the way we want them done. 

If she was not playing she would stand on the sidelines next to her coach. As the coach called out to players so did my granddaughter. They issued directions to them. They would yell. They would wave their arms. They would point their fingers.

When the coach finally noticed her small assistant she would kindly have my granddaughter go sit where she was supposed to be.

She was more fun to watch when she was 'coaching' than when she was playing... and that was fun.

    1. Children at play is one of my great pleasures. Especially if they include me.
