Actually, this happened last weekend but it has been amusing me today.
Last Sunday, the nation finally advanced its clocks by an hour at 2am. Having sauntered down the road for a newspaper and some milk I was on my way back when I heard the town clock strike six at 9.32am precisely. As far as I am aware, it remained silent for the rest of the day. It was the sort of thing you might have seen or heard in the background of an early Peter Sellers film. The offending time piece. Carruthers ETA I hate having to go through the wretched caper of putting the clock forward as it always knackers my body clock. I can get jet-lag without leaving the parish. Due to the differing dates the US and UK change their clocks, for about three weeks we're only four hours ahead of Eastern Time. No real problem but I listen to NPR on the web and it throws my schedule out of the window. Look, these things matter to a chap.OK? |

Tonight's hockey game.
It's the first season after aging up into a level where they can check. Unbeknown to us parents, the coach told the team he'd give the boy with the most checks a Gatorade. My friend and I watched in amusement and surprise as her large but sweet and placid son started "bringing it on" with a few players -an elbow here, a slam there, at one point we thought he was about to start a fight.... and then he slammed a player into the boards so hard they stopped the game while they picked him up (player was ok). Naughty Kevin went to the penatly box, up he went on the board, then the ref stopped the game again to declare that it was actually two penalties to run one consecutively so 4 minutes in the box.... and then we saw the coach patting Naughty Kevin on the back, and then after the game the coach gave him his reward, multiple fist bumps and was all over how much his game had improved.... My poor friend was proud and mad at the same time. And very conflicted. I just find it funny. Amusing me no end. Probably not so much when it's my kid, although given he's literally half the weight of his buddy Kevin, it probably ain gonna happen.....

lol - Seen that a time or two around here as well.
One note of caution, YOUR kid, being smaller, will be the target of the other teams players. Keep him working on his skating and agility. There is nothing better for your boy to see the big kid coming, move quickly and seeing the big kid end up checking himself into the boards.
