“Watch this”

improvisingfatherhood:

The other night I was playing soccer with my 5-year-old and he was in goal and I was taking some pretty tough shots on him. He’s gotten pretty good at blocking my shots. My wife came over and I told her he was getting good. Before the next shot I said, “Watch this.” Then I took a shot but the ball got away from me and went a little high and hit my son right in the face. Instant tears. You should have seen the look on my wife’s face.

“Watch this.” (kicks ball directly into son’s face)

When it comes to soccer, making your kid cry is not the GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLL!
