The coach told them their soccer balls were bobcats, and they couldn't touch the bobcats with their hands or they'd get bit. He had the kids pretend to get bit by the ball. When everyone else screamed and ran back, Ethan looked at that ball like it was going to eat him! He wasn't sure he wanted to go near it for a few minutes. (Mind you, the class is kids ages 2 1/2 to 5 years old. I squeezed Ethan in at 2 1/4, maybe a tad too young.)
The coach was trying to teach them to dribble, and said they were taking their "bobcats" (soccer balls) on a walk to the zoo. He asked Ethan what his favorite animal at the zoo was. Ethan happily replied "Panda!" The coach said they would see the pandas first. Ethan threw down his ball and ran to the door, very excited to go to the zoo. He was not a happy camper when he realized it was make-believe and there would be no zoo trip today.
