Sporting

Me: Your baseball game is canceled today because of the rain.
Wm: YAY!
Me: You don't like baseball anymore?
Wm: No.
Me: Why not?
Wm: It's BORING.
Me: It is a really slow game and you have the attention span of a gnat. Maybe you should try something with more constant action when this season is over.
Steve: LIKE SOCCER.
Wm: Hmm.
Me: Would you play soccer?
Wm: [silence]
Me: You need to do SOMETHING active, man. Just one thing. Anything you want. Karate? Basketball? Baseball? Tennis? Something? I'd even accept music lessons as an "active" thing. I'm desperate here.
Wm: No. None of that stuff.
Me: So...will you play soccer if none of the other stuff sounds good?
Wm: Sigh. Sure.
Steve: [Happiest most joyous face you could ever possibly imagine] REALLY? HIGH FIVE! YESSSSSS!!!!

Within 10 minutes, Steve had him signed up online to start with the next cycle. Steve also offered to coach. After he clicked it, he goes, "Omg...that means I have to interact with other parents. My stomach hurts...."

I didn't know how badly Steve wanted Wm to play soccer until Wm agreed to play. Steve rarely displays that sort of excitement. It's usually reserved for getting new sneakers.

O-H-I-O!
