Have you kids played flag football before?
I can’t say they have.
We need a quarterback and a wide receiver.
I’m not sure they’re ready for football.
There’s no tackling involved.
What about pushing and shoving.
I’ll make sure it doesn’t get out of hand.
Okay, as long as you’re the referee.
Trust me.
That was short and sweet.
That was.
That was so quick.
Wow!
It was.
Well, I’m not too familiar with this sport…
Really?
Uh… flag football because I’m not football player myself. I don’t play football.
Most people who play flag football because a lot of women will play it…
Is that right?
At thanks giving or Christmas. They are not football players either.
Oh, they are not.
So that’s pretty gentle as far as football goes.
Jeff, you have played this football, too.
Yes. And one of the key points is to keep spinning around so that they can’t grab your flag.
Oh, that keeps you very busy.
Yes. You can’t run straight because your flag will fly straight behind you so you have to keep spinning around.
Doesn’t that make you trip or something? No?
Sometimes…dizzy… makes you dizzy sometimes.
Wow!
What’s the knack?
Well, when you’re spinning, you’ll have to make sure that it doesn’t get out of hand.
Okay.
