Strip is a thinker. And because she is a thinker, she is a worrier. That child worries enough for our entire extended family and then some. Nugget, on the other hand, is totally my kid. Not a care in the world, does what he wants doesn't care what anyone says, does, thinks. It doesn't even occur to him to worry about anything!
I signed them both up for soccer and it starts this week, so we were talking about the last minute things we need to get before practice. Nugget got a football jersey from Ma for college game day (woo hoo! Welcome back fall!), and wanted to know if he could wear his #3 jersey for soccer.
Me: No, buddy, you can't wear your football jersey. But I think they will give you both a special soccer shirt.
Nugget: Can I be #3?
Me: No, I don't think so. They assign everyone the numbers, so I don't think you get to pick.
Strip, AKA worry wart: Umm. Do they give you the numbers based on how good you are?!
Me: No, sweetie, they just give out the numbers.
Nugget: I wanna be zero.
Oy. Maybe they will rub off on each other and even themselves out a little!
