Golf

Today was the first day of the summer golf program.  Nate has participated for 3 years, Henry for 2 years. Luke and I walked them to the sign up table where Coach Magnus said to Luke , "are you playing?"

I replied for Luke," no, he's not old enough. he will be here next year."

"You need to play this year." She replied

" he's not old enough" I repeated

" I think he is" she (lady in charge of everything) says

" no, he's really not " I said " he's my baby, he's only 5"

" you need to let him try" she says "I think he'd love it."

Luke looks up at me beaming. 

"You're not old enough." I tell him. 

She steers us around the corner where they fit him with golf shoes, no charge. 

I say " those don't fit you. Your feet are too little" 

"Mom, they fit perfect" he says

I have no reply

"Well, just try it today. If you like it, you can do it." I say "but if you don't, you don't have to do it. This is just a trial."

He was over the moon when I picked him up. 2 1/2 hours of golf! I'm sure next week will be different and he will hate it and want to hang with me.
