Boys vs. Girls

This week we're doing VBS at church. I'm in charge of Games and PowerPoint. Anyways, I'm having a 'ball' being the all-time-pitcher of the daily 3rd & 4th grade kickball game. We've been playing boys vs. girls and the girls have won 3 games in a row!

The boys are very very mad! They have accused me of playing harder for the girls team. They have accused the other adult helper of the same. They have called eachother 'dumb'. They have told each-other to 'shut-up'. They have tried to whip the ball at my face. Etc.

I hate to admit the real reason they are losing though. The girls are just better. They are playing way smarter. The girls are kicking the ball towards the holes in the defense instead of just kicking as hard as they can. The girls are catching the boys' kicks whereas the boys run up so far in the field that the girls' kicks go right over their heads!

Yesterday the boys said the girls only won b/c the other adult helper played for the girls team. The funny thing is, though, that he didn't kick once the whole game. He didn't make a single play in the field. The boys didn't realize this though :)

I did tell them why! They didn't adjust. I'm not sure as to how you had time to type the remainder of your post considering you shouldn't stray too far from the kitchen.
