Soccer

Bella has been playing soccer since she was 4.  When she started out they were co-ed teams.  When she was 6 she started playing on a girls only team.  They play every fall and spring.  Half of the girls have played together all 5 seasons.  We are a pretty vocal (but VERY supportive) group of parents.  I mean, we even cheer for the other team when they have a good play, or block, or stop . . . whatever it may be. 

The girls have a tournament this weekend.  As we left practice last night, Bella informed me that I couldn't yell at her games this weekend, or else I'd get a red ticket and they would kick me out of the game.  She proceeded to say . . .

" . . . and I don't want you kicked out of the game, because then you won't be here.  And if you're not here, who's going to drive me home?  Well, I guess I could just walk up the hill to Papi Guelos . . ."

I had to stop her there and assure her I wouldn't get myself kicked out of her game . . . although it seems she wasn't worried about me missing her games so much as how she would get home!!!
