Coming soon to ESPN...

Host: Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the Wide World of Sports. Today’s match has Dad, Grace and John in a battle royale on the Soccer field. Let’s get out to the action.

Announcer: Thanks, Bill. The players are ready to go…no wait, John needs a drink of water. We’ll be right back after these messages.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Announcer: Here we go! Dad kicks it to Grace, Grace passes is to John…uh oh, John has a bug in his eye. Time out on the field. John will leave the field for a moment. Grace kicks it to Dad, but wait, Grace is walking off the field. Let’s go down to our field reporter.

Field Reporter: Apparently, Grace has a blister on her right foot and will need a band-aid. John is still drinking water. Dad is on the field, but has no one to play with. We’ll step out for these messages.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Announcer: We’re back, but apparently the match will end after only 20 minutes, with 15 of it used by water and potty breaks. John is picking up the cones and saying he want to go inside. Grace says her foot hurts and Dad would rather watch golf than stand in the yard kicking a soccer ball all by himself. Let’s go down to the field for more in-depth coverage.

Field Reporter: Grace has asked if she could weed the flower bed instead of playing any longer. John says there is a “buzzy-bee” on the field and Dad is tired and worn out. Let’s try to get a word with John. John, John, why are you going inside? Well, apparently, John has no word for us right now and Grace has already gone looking for water. That’s all from down here.

Host: Join us tomorrow on Wide World of Sports for two swings of the baseball bat followed by a juice box and crackers.
