It's a goal!

By Kim Shippey Sentinel staff

My 19-month-old grandson, Michael, has the reddest hair in Africa and the straightest kick I've ever seen. He's never watched a game of football (soccer)—not even on television—but he knows precisely what to do. Put a ball anywhere near him, and he'll stride back purposefully, angle himself, glance up for direction, and boom!

Nine times out of ten it's a goal—usually through a space between two sweaters heaped on the front lawn or on the living room carpet.

What pleases me, is that even if a stray shot finds a window or a china cabinet, his mother will still praise him for his ball-control, fire-power, and accuracy.
