He better keep his eye on the ball or he’ll lopone of his feet off.

all this talk of “a chip off the old block” reminds me of a poem.

It warms my heart to see Dad pass on his trade to his first born.

poor little lamb! What did it do that it needed to be executed?

I have always wondered how they make soccer balls.
