There is a gnarly scab on my knee. I got it today. This is what I would tell you if you asked me about it - which I know you would - cause your compassionate like that:
Today I was playing soccer with a bunch of guys. Once when I was going for the ball, I slide and somehow ripped open the flesh on my knee. It started bleeding everywhere but I didn't mind. I was proud of myself cause I won the ball in the tackle. And it didn't hurt so I kept playing and didn't say anything.
But the truth is:
Today I was playing soccer with a bunch of little boys. Once when I was going for a ball that had been kicked out of bounds, I fell on my own and somehow ripped open the flesh on my knee. It started bleeding a little but I tried to ignore it. I was totally embarrassed with myself cause I fell on my face - with no one around! It was our throw-in so I kept playing. It hurt but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to look like pansy.
the end. oh! I should mention (as a redeeming factor) in the game I scored 4 of our 6 goals! .....or did i?
now, tell us the real truth about how you got that rug burn
ReplyDeleteAnd the boys you pulverized on the soccer field were how old?
ReplyDeleteThe even realer truth is that it was a dive wasn't it? You were trying to get some poor kid red-carded out the game.
