I love taking Guillermo to soccer, not just because I love watching him play. I love hearing the conversations on the field because they remind me of my own 7-year-old son.
After a recent Saturday afternoon game, one family handed out popsicles. 'The red popsicles are Darth Vader's light saber," I heard one kid say as he and another boy engaged in a quick light saber duel.
Yesterday at practice, one kid referred to the goal as the Millennium Falcon. "Kick the ball to blow up the Millennium Falcon," one killed yelled. In this case, I hoped the Imperial Forces won because Guillermo was goalie. He didn't mind. He likes to be the bad guy, sometimes.
