I enjoyed reading this dialogue only flash fiction. I think you did a good job telling the story this way. I especially liked the next-to-last line. LOL. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

That's a little different, Barry. It was a good idea to limit the comments to ones that are not X-rated. At many of the sporting events today, the comments are accompanied with fisticuffs.

    Paul,
    Thanks for the review and you are correct about the fisticuffs. Not a good example to the kids but unfortunately happens a bit too often.
    Thanks again and have a wonderful day.
    Regards
    Barry

    Patricia,
    Glad you enjoyed my flash story. Just sprung into my mind as I was watching my grandson. So much goes on at sporting fields, especially on the weekends.
    Take care

I know the frustration of watching the kids playing, feeling for them, wanting them to win, but at the same time wanting them to have a good attitude toward the game. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Thanks Roy for the review. Yes, a good attitude is very important. Unfortunately, it is the actions and words of a few on the sideline that do not provide a good example to follow. Take care and have a wonderful day.
    Cheers

This sounds like a traditional English football game and this kids are having fun here, but remember that the rules can result in being sent off! Ha ha ha, a fun read Barry, love Dolly x

    Yes you are correct, there can be send offs. The worst behavior is often reserved to a few adults on the sideline.Take care and have a wonderful day.
