Son didn't go to a soccer game tonight because he had an activity with one of his choir/singing groups. I felt bad because the soccer team was massacred and they had no goalie there.
L looks at me and says, "I knew I wasn't going to be able to go. I'm prioritizing. I mean I'm not going to be getting a scholarship for soccer, but I might get one for singing."
ha ha ha! When I pointed out that there really aren't scholarships for singing... he smiled and joked, "WHAT? No scholarships for singers?"
I guess it wasn't actually a surprise.
Here I am, trying NOT to put everything in those terms - - - NOT putting everything in the light of "What will help me more for college?" Nevertheless, L has picked it up.
P.S. The fact that he felt the need to say that he "knew" he couldn't make the game makes me wonder whether he even remembered he had a game. If he didn't know, it wouldn't be completely his fault because the coaches of his team have been struggling a bit in the communication department. But... we'll just give L the benefit of the doubt. Sigh...
