to nobody in particular:
...the essence of soccer/real football is simple: you can use any part of you body to play the ball, except your arms and hands...
...unless you are playing the position of goalkeeper...
...however, when trying to play soccer/real football with your two year-old son, and trying to get him to not use his hands and only use his feet, and after a while, he starts looking up at you as he reaches down for the ball, and then you tell him, "no, don't use your hands -- kick the ball into the goal with your feet", and he responds by saying, "hey, nice", telling you to be nice to him -- well, i guess the real rules can be held off for a few more days...
...but seeing him kick a goal and his celebration afterwards is always a delight...
-----
..."you learn something new every day"...
...today, i learned: i am able to sit down with the first section of a German newspaper and actually comprehend a lot of what it is reporting about...
...progress!...

why are you cheating him out of a chance at greatness? if he doesn't learn now, he never will. he'll eventually come to appreciate your tough love.
