My 3 year old son recently had his first soccer game. The team consisted of 3- and 4-year olds, many of whom our son did not know. We took plenty of pictures, and after the game we used the photos to help him learn the names of his new friends and coaches.
"Who is this?" I asked pointing at one little boy.
"That's my friend Mason" came the reply.
"That's right! And who is this?" I asked pointing at a little girl.
"I don't know," came the reply.
"That's Madison. And who is this?" I asked pointing at Madison's daddy, the coach.
"I don't know," came the reply.
"That's Coach Juan. And who is this?" I asked pointing at Mason's mommy, Paige, the assistant coach.
In a small tentative voice the reply came,
"Coach Two?"
20,000 people gathered in Buenos Aires to hear Venezuelan President Chavez bash President Bush. Things got so violent, officials were afraid a soccer match was going to break out.
