· Elle's World, Hockey is just better, Mommyhood

Scene: Parking lot of the local grocery

Elle and boy walking hand in hand passing a mini van

Boy: Look a ball  (pointing to a sticker of a ball on the back of the van)

Elle: What kind of ball is that?

Boy: That’s a ladies ball.

The sticker is that of a soccer ball.

    OK now, there’s a need for intervention here … soccer balls are not ladies ball, just a perfectly shaped football.

    Slidetackles on a grassy pitch in the rain is very cool.

    I wonder what he’d say if he saw a Hockey Puck?

    that “ladies”‘ ball paid for Conor’s entire college education, free ride baby, free ride. it also put Conor in a stadium at 12 in Belgium in from of 18000 people in the European Juniors Football championships and then an offer to play “school boy” for a huge English club (Arsenal)….I wouldn’t throw it to the curb just yet.

    Meanwhile, when C moved to Canada, he took skating with 5 year olds to learn to skate to play hockey, but the money is in soccer…..

    Hmm… has someone been telling their little boy that HOCKEY and PUCKS are boys sports :) lol.

    Oh I have never said that Hockey is a boy’s sport. However, I may or may not have told him that soccer is a girl’s sport.
