Recently Duchess began soccer. This is actually her first year doing any activity, she now has tumbling and soccer. She is joining Princess in the efforts to bring the parents to their knees through extra-curricular activities.
She was very very excited about soccer. So we got a coach and we got a schedule and we got a uniform. They are the dragons, woohoo!!!! Breathing fire and all that jazz....
So before the first game, she was very excited......
Until she realized that the coach expected her to actually run....excuse me? Run? Me? Do you know who I am?
So The Man stepped in and gave the pep-talk! Lots of loving coaxing words and when that failed her threatened to beat her and when that failed he bribed her with a sucker.....
This didn't work either. So in protest she decided to just play with her hair, while standing in one spot on the field....the entire game.
Until she saw us doing the frantic hand gestures and the big fake smiles, You know the ones.... "GO DUCHESS, COME ON HONEY RUN!" yelled through gritted teeth.... So she stood there so very sad behind the coach. Miserable.......not moving at all.....until she tugged on the coaches jacket causing her to quickly squat down to see what was the matter.....you could hear it clearly across the field.....
"Can I get my trophy now, I want to go home......."
