I had to warn my 13-year-old son, who is quite possibly the most gentle being on the planet, that he has grown so tall lately that his choice of a black Israeli gas mask to complement his all-black Halloween outfit might actually frighten a parent here or there along his route tonight.
Still, if anyone looks through this scary mask to his eyes, he or she will sense his essential sweetness, I trust.
So my question is, why does such a sweet boy choose such a scary outfit? Maybe the answer is too obvious.
Meanwhile, what is going on with his little sister's soccer team? These are the kids who lost 19 straight until a couple weeks ago when they won a game 1-0. Then they tried another team 0-0, in their final regular season game.
That allowed them to make the playoffs. Today they beat their opponents 4-0. Huh? Do things change that fast. Are they now a powerhouse?
Apparently, in the world of kids, anything is possible.
Maybe us oldsters should think about that. When was the last time you thought anything was still possible for you?
