Enjoying the range of outdoor activities at the Danang Intercontinental Resort, we decided to play soccer. Miss C chose to be goal keeper while her parents battled it out on the field. I'm not fast but I am wily & have some muscle memory & skill memory which I was proudly drawing on.
I was up 3-0 when it happened. A great crossways kick across goal with side-stepping my husband's attempts to stop this power in motion when, thump & a scream. I had scored a goal but I had also unwittingly put the ball into Miss C's nose.
She was so brave & empathetic in her recovery as she immediately said, "I'm ok because I know you didn't mean it." What a gorgeous girl. Then she followed up with, "I know you didn't mean it because I know you can't really kick the ball where you want it to go" The annoying thing is that she is right on both of those counts.
Final score: 4-0 to me; 1-0 to Miss C
