I had my 7 year old running routes last night

in the driveway and told him he might have to suit up for the Giants this weekend. At dinner he finishes up, turns to me, and with a total straight face asks, "are we going to play it again sports now?" "For what?" "To get football pads so I can play for the Giants this weekend." |
As the father of two sons and stepfather to a daughter, this post really got to me. All three kids are grown now, but we still talk about the Giants even though I'm halfway around the world from them.
Some day, when the Giants get good again, mikeygiants will remind his boy about that night in the driveway.
Really good stuff, mikey. Thanks.
