Okay, so I suck at sports. Can't really throw a baseball for love or money. Football? Well, sometimes I can get it to sort of spiral when I throw it. Basketball? No, I don't got game. Hockey? Pffft. I grew up in southern Virginia; hockey was a word usually preceded by the word "bull". As in "Bull hockey", a 'clean' way for us kids to say "Bullshit".
And that's okay. My daughter hasn't yet shown an interest in sports, not much anyway. She likes soccer a little. Which is good, because that's about the only sport I have any skill in whatsoever. Even that's questionable; David Beckham I am not. Although from a certain angle, I suppose I look good in just my underwear. But the Wee Lass does like the occasional kickabout, and she has her Dora the Explorer soccer ball for us to use.
I have discovered one activity in which I kick some serious ass. HehHeh. That's right, the new World Champion (or at least, the Champion of Gumbostan), ladies and gentlemen, Irish Gumbo RULES in....
"Hungry, Hungry Hippos".
BOOO-YAHHHH! 3 out of 3 in the Cage Match with Wee Lass tonight!
I do have a question, though. Is it wrong to do the Victory Booty Dance and shout "In your face!" to a four-year old? Not that I did that, just wonderin'...
