This is the best the weather has managed since the strange yellow disk appeared yesterday morning. A brief thinning of the clouds then the darkness descends and it just rains and rains and rain. This is not good for the soul. Another thing which is not good for the soul is football.
I have taken a punt and bought two tickets for my teams next match on Sunday. It’s a bit of a lottery taking our son to a game. He would really enjoy it if it was just the two of us in the crowd. Unfortunately it will be 52000 in the crowd. We turn up at the stadium and see how he feels. If he shakes his head we scrap the football and head towards the river so he can do some Pokemon Go hunting. However sometimes he’s ok to give it a go and when he gets inside the stadium he enjoys the atmosphere. Never been able to pinpoint why we get the different reactions. So fingers crossed for Sunday.
Apart from the atmosphere he loves watching the Mr Men show. That’s not referring to my alleged football team but my reaction to the game. Our son says it’s about getting the popcorn in and then watching his dad go through the characters in the Mr Men show.
Entering Stadium – Dad is going to watch the game MR HAPPY
Trying to find the seats – Dad always gets lost MR FORGETFUL
Start of the match – Dad very nervous MR JELLY
Few minutes into the game – team started ok MR CHEERFUL
Game starting to go downhill – team starting to struggle MR WORRY
Team now losing – team playing badly MR GRUMBLE
Team now getting hammered – Dad getting annoyed MR GRUMPY
Team clearly going to lose again – Dad getting VERY annoyed MR RUDE
Team lost – left stadium Dad needs to eat lots of food to cheer up MR GREEDY
What an astute observation!

His granny would buy him a Mr Men book each week and read it to him when he went round on a Sunday. Happy days.

Ha! You two have a fantastic humour!!
Hope you have fun, that you do indeed see the game & you leave as Mr Chuffed (I know thereโs not really one of those..).
I wonder if thereโs anything u can do to help your son prepare for the game so youโre both more likely to get to stay and enjoy your day?

Thank you. Itโs mainly his humour. Itโs just about getting there early and giving him plenty of time to adjust.
