We won

I need to fill my mind with happy and positive thoughts and who else can provide these but my darling grandson! In a recent Skype call he announced with heat aplomb that his soccer team had won 8-2. Yes the bloke is now on a soccer trip with a game each ween end. In this picture he still does not have his kit, the other kid has it, but he is part of the Dragon team. For this match Doreamon had to fill in! While he was telling me all about his winning, his mom was making strange faces. It transpired that his team had lost 8-2. But Agastya had his logic. The ball entered his goal and thus he won. It will take him time to understand the true rules of the game.

This picture is not one of the said match. For the match he had his gear and was over the moon. The gear was the most exciting thing of the day. He was playing defence with his pal but they were too busy comparing their gear and the Tshirt was more important than the ball. Anyway what lay behind them was 'their' goal so what was the fuss about. His father and his coach could scream what they wanted, the two boys had better things to do.

They have time to grow up. For now let them play by their rules. It is what makes children so special and brings a big smile on Nani's face making her forget, albeit for a few minutes, all her worries.
