Bend It Like Beckham - Not

I wonder if David Beckham's parents were ever brought to tears the first time watching the watched their young son play soccer.

The older one played soccer for the first time ever, on a team setting. At first it didn't go well. He refused to put on his uniform and wanted to go home. Daddy had to wrestle the jersey on him and took him out on to the field. Slowly, L warmed up to the idea that kicking a soccer ball was fun. Soon daddy was able to slip back into the stands and watch, and laugh.

Let's just say, that L took great pleasure in running, and then falling or diving to the ground. All these great acrobatic feats took place nowhere near the ball. It was comical to watch.

The best is, he cried when he got home. He wanted to go back to play some more soccer and he wouldn't take his jersey off until bath time. Until next Saturday...
