The whole setting is perfect. Petey trying to kick any sort of ball for the first time ever. But in the relative safety of their own back yard, and only with his father, who he trusts not to embarrass him. But naturally his little sister Alice, sensing that this is a big deal, wants to bear witness. And as her best friend Dill happens to be visiting, he and Alice get front row seats. Perfect.
