Footy Cards
Just want to share this gem with you. Bear with it.
We are flying to Spain on holiday tonight so we are sorting all out stuff out. My 7 year old lad James, priorities always spot on, is sorting through his footy cards.
"Dad, you know Sami has left and gone to Germany"
"Yeah son. Shame but that's how football goes. We respect his decision as a club and move on. He'll be back some day, mark my words"
"So I keep him then?"
"Oh aye. Legend. Keep him. In fact, keep him safe"
"What about Danny Agger, Dad, he's always injured?"
"At the moment son, but he'll come good. Just needs to sort out these niggling injuries that he's always picking up. Stevie G was like that once and he came through it"
"So I keep him then, Dad even though he never seems to play?"
"Of course son, he's a Liverpool player, one of us. Keep him safe too"
"Ok Dad. What about Wayne Rooney?"
Thinks for a minute.
"Well son, at the end of the day, he plays for the Mancs (had to keep it clean he's 7) but he is a quality player."
"Yeah but he used to play for Everton"
"I know, but he's a bit thick and does the wrong thing sometimes and he was brought up as a blue. It's not really his fault that he is genetically defective"
"What's that mean?"
"Never mind son. Keep him too but not that safe"
"Dad?"
"Yes son"
"I threw Drogba out of the window last night"
"Fair enough son, fair enough"
"Thought so Dad"
Ok so I dressed it up a bit but he did throw Drogba out of his bedroom window and he wasn't even a swap. Made me laugh anyway!
