The Downside of Having Grass In Our Yard

Silly and I went outside to play football in our new grass. It's been 4 years since we've had a yard with grass and during this time, my kids have obviously forgotten the perils of having a yard. Including grass stains.

As we are playing football, Silly decides that every time he catches the ball, he is going to fall down and roll around on the freshly cut grass. Because it's funny, you know. What he does not see is that the back of his school shirt is getting covered with grass stains. This led to the following conversation. I swear it went exactly like this:

Me: Silly, stop falling down when you catch the ball. You're getting grass stains all over your back. (Silly catches the ball and falls on the grass.)

Me: Silly, stop falling down when you catch the ball. You're getting grass stains--(Silly catches the ball and falls on the grass.)

Me: Silly, stop falling down when you catch the ball--(Silly catches the ball and falls on the grass.)

Me: Silly, stop falling down when--(Silly catches the ball and falls on the grass.)

Me: Silly--(Silly catches the ball and falls on the grass.)

Me: Oh, whatever.
