38superman Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I went to a local match yesterday. This morning I was looking at the scores on my computer when my 6 yr. old grandson walked in. The conversation went something like this. "What are you doing Papa"? "I went to a match yesterday and I'm looking at the scores". "How does it work". "Well, you see this list of names?" "Yeah" "The closer your name is to the top the better you did. There's my name by number six. I had a pretty good day". [Moment of Silence] "How come you didn't finish number one"? "The guys I shoot with are pretty good, I just need more practice". [Another moment of silence] "So why aren't you practicing now"? "Go watch cartoons". The kid gets it. Maybe better than I do.

Cy Soto Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 "So why aren't you practicing now"? That child delivers a priceless piece of advice. I will take it to heart and walk my butt to the basement right now for some dry fire time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Little kids haven't developed the filter of diplomacy. And that's probably a good thing... for a while. Later it turns into politics. And look where THAT'S got us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Tony, Glad you got a chance to come down and shoot with us. I think all of us but Randal need to take your grandson's advice. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
