Soccer Camp

Nathan and Thomas are both attending soccer camp through the U this summer. They both have a bunch of friends there and seem to be having a great time. I think the unlimited supply of Gatorade at any time is a huge bonus for them, but if that makes them happy, I'm happy.

Today, after camp, Thomas told a story of accidentally dropping a penny into the pot of the Honey Bucket. I had a vision of the situation, but didn't think twice about it. About two hours later, it hit me out of nowhere. The "penny" he was referring to is not a coin. No, the "penny" is a "pinny": the light mesh jersey the players use during the scrimmage to designate teams. Thomas dropped his pinny into the toilet in the Honey Bucket! What?! I then asked how on God's green Earth could this happen, and I'm not convinced it was an accident. His story had a few holes in it. After the untimely death of the pinny he said he came out and told his coach what had happened, and his coach said it was OK. I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.

Bye-bye pinny.
