I'm not playing....

Yesterday we pulled into the drive way to see teenage boys outside. It appeared a football game might come to be. John looking over said, "Well, I'm not playing." One of the little kids asked "Is it too cold for you John?" Another yelled up from the back of the van "Is it too muddy?". John (with a perfectly straight and serious face) said, "There are two reason i am NOT playing." He paused for a good minute, everyone waiting for his reply, "One, my neck and Two, my chest!" rofl! John was not laughing, except in his eyes:) He is great with message delivery, never a smile or grin. Just facts. Of course if anyone truly watched those boys play (cleats, full body tackles, truly a man thing!) they would so so understand the funniness of John's comments. I am just surprised that's all that hurt! The picture above is one I found deep in my pictures stored on the computer! I am pretty sure it's a self portrait.
