For mother's day I mowed the lawn and then planned to just flop around the house (my mom went to Medford for the weekend). Instead my sister Sue called and we went up to Tigard to see little Benny play flag footbal, which his dad (my nephew) is coaching.
Benny (who is five years old), it seems, has little or no interest in football. Most of the time he was picking flowers or laying on the ground. It was rather amusing. He does not like having the ball as he does not want anyone taking his flags. He later told my sister (his grandma) that he did not like football, and frankly I don't blame him!
Benny's dad was, and is, quite the sportsman, but I think Benny will be more cerebral and is likely to grow up to be a technical geek.
