Zane is a goalie???

Zane is amazingly brilliant. I don’t know how he knows so much. He is so observant, it is amazing.

He is three years old.

When I was dressing him for bed tonight I helped him put his Mexican soccer jersey on for pajamas. After getting dressed he pretended to have a ball and wanted to throw it to me. However, I told him, “you have to put it down and kick it because in soccer you can’t throw it you have to kick it.” I thought I was teaching him something about the sport.

But he comes back with, “Yes, I can because I’m in the goalie box.”

I’m like, “what?” I am thinking to myself, “how does he know that?” How does he know anything about goalie boxes. I have not yet taken him to a soccer game. He has not watched a game on TV, we don’t have cable. He doesn’t go to school, and he only has a few friends who are girls who come over on Wednesdays. Sunday school?

I went out to the kitchen to tell Lori about it. She didn’t believe me. So we quizzed Zane about it and he confirmed he knows something about goalie boxes.

How?

Amazing!!!
