The Things We Do For Love, or Why Toe-Punching a Soccer Ball is NOT a Good Idea...

Played in a scrimmage against my son's U10 soccer team last night, Parents versus Kids, and had loads of fun. The score was even, and I think the kids learned a lot. It's one thing to tell the kids, "Spread out!" and "Move up!" and "Watch your man!" And it's another thing to SHOW them

Oh, ow! Owie, owie, owie!
I toe-punched before. I defended my goal, but had to limp off the field to recover. I feel your pain! But it sounds like you all had a blast. :D

It was fun, even after my legs gave out on me! And oh, toe-punches, OUCH!!! The Impertinent Daughter hasn't let me live it down yet.

Had you hit it with your instep, would it have split the side of your foot?

[auntbijou]

You know, that's just... too painful to even contemplate!
