Winning isn't everything

[Lods]

My little fella - Grade 1 this year - had a major melt down before class started on Tuesday. Which is not like him at all.

When quizzed by his mother why he wasn't taking his water bottle into his classroom like all the others, he melted down and said he didn't want his class mates to know he went for Carlton!  :-[ :-[

(his water bottle is a charlie's crew bottle with his name on it!)

That's why I want wins on the board more than anything!!!!

That's a little sad...
But let him know there's change 'a comin'

I used to hate going to school after a Carlton loss...
Once or twice a year it gave the other kids an opportunity to have a shot at me.

Hopefully by the time he hits primary school his problem will be the same as the old days.
And in the days after the flags....well, for a few days you rule the school.
He may still have to hide his bottle....the other kids will want to pinch it.
