What my kid said
On Friday Margaret (age 10) refereed some of the soccer matches in an inter-school competition. For some reason, she ended up slated to ref all boys' games. Before the games started, one of the boys said, "Who's reffing?"
"I am," said Margaret.
The boy gave a few ostentatious coughs designed to communicate his scorn, while his mates snickered. "Are you okay?" Margaret asked coolly.
"Oh, uh, yeah, I just got a frog in my throat." More snickering.
"Next time maybe you should let the frog do the talking."
I think my kid is terrific.
