Just took little Gracie to the park.
What's the one thing that's the same the world over? The one thing that we universally share? The one thing that binds humankind together as 'one'?
It's the man who plays along with the kids' game down the park and takes it way too seriously.
There was a group of about 35 kids divided into 2 teams participating in a game of (American) Football. The 'captain' of one of these teams was a fully-grown mid-thirties man who roared out such things as:
'LET'S DO IT!'...
'T.....T.....TIMEOUT!'...
'COME ON...FOCUS!'....
'NAIL HIM, SOLDIER!'...
He went into tackles as hard as he would with men his own age...he didn't back down in confrontation...he questioned 'the referee's' (another man who was just passing by) decisions. Hysterical.
And another thing I noticed...when it's your job to look after a girl at the park, you realise how gross boys are. They sweat, they salivate, they run around the place pretending everything's about to explode. And do they have to be SO LOUD!? Goodness me.
