"Oh goodness, football would be impossible to understand without watchin'," I agree, grinning as she starts skating forward again. She's still a little wobbly, but her determination is wonderful; I can already tell she's gonna take to hockey almost immediately. "My dad's a football coach back home, actually. He tries gettin' me into it when I was little, but it never really took."
Mostly because of my size, I think. And because I've never really liked hitting all that much. Figure skating was a lot more fun and the only bruises I endured were from falling on the ice.
"Did you have anything like this back home?" I ask her then. "Not the skating, obviously. But sports? Games?"
