used to live in a basement apartment that faced the street. one day in spring, kids were playing out there, and out of nowhere, they all decided to gather around and started to sing the national anthem very loudly. even though i was used to their noise, this was different, what the hell is going on? after watching them singing full-heartedly, one of them started to talk fast and excitedly:
"dear watchers in front of their tv, we can assure you this will be one of the most epic soccer seasons. and now, the ball is on ronaldo, and ronaldo is running aaand he is passing the ball to messi. now the ball is on messi's foot and -oh no!- he dropped the ball! now ronaldo is coming fast..."
it went like that. by the way, there were around 10 kids or so, and half of their names turned out to be ronaldo, while the other half were messi (which they did not seem to be bothered at all!) so, all that evening, they imagined themselves appearing on tv, with the entire world watching them.
it made me laugh hard at the time and still makes me smile whenever it comes to mind. i think the difference between kids and adults is too obvious: kids can manage to live in a world of their own creations (without that much fuss or disagreement), hence they are happy, whereas we adults cannot even agree on the most basic things to start the game in the first place!
nice: all
