Chloe and I were sitting together and watching the thrilling end of the exciting Italy v. Germany world cup semifinal. Italy had just scored 2 goals toward the end of the 2nd half of overtime and the German team and fans were devastated.
Chloe looked at the Germans and turned to me and asked "Daddy, why are the German's crying?" I was a bit taken back by her quesiton since I hadn't noticed that anyone was crying, and wasn't sure that she was actually watching. Being the compassionate person I am I calmly explained that the German team had just lost the game and that they were very sad because of that.
Chloe turned to me and said "When I play soccer in the fall, if my team wins the last game, I will be happy and I will jump around." Then I asked her what would happen if her team lost. Her immediate response was "If my team loses the last game, I won't cry."
A few words of wisdom from my baby.

My own sounding board. I will be posting random thoughts every so often. Some with be coherent and well thought out while others might make little or no sense at all. It's a public diary so to speak.

So I just now read the comment you left on my blog over two years ago. Ian told me about it last night. What a weird world, huh?
That kid totally reminded me of you - his mannerisms and everything. It was weird to be sitting there with all these 11 year olds and have a flashback to grade school.
I can't wait for our grade school reunion next week - see you then.
