E had two games today to make up for the game that got rained out some time ago. They won the second game 3-1, but the first game was tough: a 1-4 loss.

In the second half, E played goalie. It was 1-2 when the half started. On the opponents’ first possession, they scored.

I knew it would be tough on the Boy — he doesn’t like letting people down, whether or not that’s what actually happened. They scored one more on the Boy. I had the camera up, hoping to get a good action shot of E stopping the ball.

Not quite.

“I’m never playing goalie again,” he declared.
