Eric and I were recently eating lunch at Subway during his lunch hour when the high school golf team walked in. What appealed to me about this team was they all had clean cut haircuts and they were all well dressed. I didn't see a single one wearing low rider jeans with boxers hanging out. What Eric saw was a bunch of kids getting out of school to play golf. I asked if he would be interested in playing golf in high school and the thought of playing golf during the school day appealed to him. I don't want to give the impression that Eric is a slacker in school though, because he continues to get straight A's and is very motivated to keep that up in high school.
Since he has never swung a golf club in his life, I decided I better look at getting him some lessons to see if he even likes it. Fortunately the base was offering one hour of lessons for kids for $5. Only 3 boys showed up so they got a lot of individualized attention. Eric needs a lot of practice but he liked it. So now I think I will get him some one-on-one lessons. I figured golf was a good sport because hopefully it will be easier on his knees. His knees took a beating in baseball and wrestling. Plus his goal in life (at least right now) is to go to law school. We figured golf and law would be a good combination.
Speaking of law school, my sweet, innocent little girl announced this weekend that she wants to attend law school also. Her reasonings are way different than Eric's though. She wants to go because in her own words, "All the lawyers in the movies are good looking." She plans to meet her future husband there. Mario's comment was that she has been watching way too may movies.
