My Football Story (Spelling Words)

Almost every day I have football. I have never missed a practice or game. This year I am playing quarterback and middle linebacker. Being quarterback means I need to keep my head in the game.

At the last game I fell a couple times but it didn't hurt. My pads and helmet keep me protected. At half time the coach has us kneel in a circle while he talks to us about how good we are doing. He also tells us not to cheat. It is nice to take a short break so I can breathe. A mom from the team will feed us oranges during half time. That is my favorite part! I am happy they do not feed us wheat bread, that would be gross. My least favorite part is the time I got bit by a flea. It left an itchy, red bump on my shoulder. I get so hot it feels good when there is a light breeze in the air. The weather can be so hot, I wish I had an icicle to cool myself off. Sometimes, when I am out of the field and I am hot, I imagine myself jumping in a lake to cool off.

Playing on the field is like being in a sea of football players. There are a lot of people watching the games. I often wonder if the fans are from other cities. I wonder too what they do for jobs. Maybe they are doctors or scientists.

I love football games!! It is my favorite way to spend the day.

What??? You would rather play football than come over to my house to watch Smallville?
Maybe I should spend a day playing football again with you then.
