 | My son Billy was being quite (belligerent) this morning and was yelling at me. I was trying to (cajole) him into joining the basketball team by telling him he was good with the ball. | |
|
| Oh, I am sorry. He sounds a bit (cantankerous). | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes, I tried to be (benign) and not get angry, so to lift his spirits I gave him the option to join the soccer team. | |
|
| That's nice. Were you (candid) with him and told him the practices are four times a week, plus two days of games? | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I did, and he still wanted to join the soccer team. | |
|
| Well, that's lovely. Soccer teams usually have a lot of people, so Billy will have a good (camaraderie) with them. Good luck with soccer practices! | |
