After Just One Practice

I got such a kick out of my son a couple nights ago. Right after his peewee football practice, he ran up to me and said, "Guess what Mom?" "After just one practice, I already have a position." (I had been preparing him that he wouldn't get to play much because this is his first year and he's only a 4th grader. ) Then he hints, "I heard this position gets to touch the ball quite a bit."

So I asked him, "What position do you get to play?"

"I'm a center!!!" he proudly exclaims.

Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!! My little baby boy is a center? He's going to so get pounded!!! (hope not, but my gut says otherwise.) All the kids who are too big (over the 110 weight limit) to be running backs, wide recievers, safetys and the like, have to play the line. C is about 80 pounds with a heavy winter coat on sopping wet. Man! I hope I'm wrong!!!
