Always comes back to a Seinfeld episode...

Tonight we took the youngers to soccer practice. On Tuesdays, they have palyer development for people who have signed up for the summer program. This just involves lots of foot skills and 3v3 games and allows the kids to get more touches on the ball. G is in a strange category at this time. She and a couple of friends are good enough to hold their own with the big kids, but will not be playing with them in the fall due to age, so they try to keep them separated at practices. That way the youngers don't get pummeled to death and the olders don't feel they have to go easy at their practice. Tonight there were about 5 kids in her position, so one of the coaches sent them over to be with the u10 and u9 kids. For G who, not towering by any means, is a bit taller than some of the other girls her age. So being on the field with these younger kids made her look like an Amazon which was quite funny. Her skills and size made it pretty easy to just dribble through and score with little effort. She certainly wasn't being ugly about it, just a matter of age and ability. The hub and I got tickled, because we immediately thought of a Seinfeld episode. In our house, almost everything can be linked back to a Seinfeld episode. Soup for dinner? The Soup Nazi. A favorite t-shirt is on its last leg? "Golden boy is slowly dying..." Someone didn't replace the toilet paper in the bathroom? "Not a square to spare..." So naturally there was an episode where Kramer was in a karate class. This clip should speak for itself. Night all.
