Hockey fight

When I signed up our four-year-old for floor hockey at the TMCA, I reviewed the rules with him. Steven was used to playing with his older sibling, and I wanted to be sure he wouldn't be too rough when playing with other four-year-olds. "Under no circumstances," I lectured, "are you allowed to hit anyone with your stick, no matter how mad they make you."

"Don't worry , Mummy," Steven replied. "I know that you drop your stick first and then fight!"
