Crystal Ball

Went to the boy's soccer game today. He likes soccer, but doesn't LOVE it. He'll get a decent kick in from time to time, but is rarely aggressive enough to keep control of the ball for long. I was thinking about this as I watched him today and was wondering if he would want to play again next year. Just then, the quarter ended and he came over for a drink of water. Before I could ask him about the game, he said, "Dad, did you know that seven plus five equals twelve?" I said that I did know that and I asked why he brought it up. "I was just thinking that it's kind of like six plus six, but you take one away from one number and add it to the other number," he said.

So I guess that explains some of why he isn't very aggressive on the field. He's busy doing math.
