We know our eight-year-old, and we know he's a sports nut. Still, we didn't anticipate the direction he would take the assignment "make a card for our sponsor child in Africa". After decorating the front and back of the card with images of a football and baseball player, he really gathered steam when writing out the inside. (BTW, apparently baseball players have enormous left hands.)
I'm sure that Bernald, a five-year-old in Zambia will get a lot out of this, after the capable translator figures out the right idiom for "sucker-punched".
I hope most of all that Bernald and his Zambian family and friends don't believe that all Americans take pre-season football games this seriously.
We all signed the card, even Teddy (just turned 4), who gets all of the letters in his name right, although they appear in a very creative order and some repeat. Practice makes perfect.
Let me know if you need translation of the sentiments being expressed across the Atlantic.
