Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Game stoppage called on account of Anderson’s little brother climbing the net… again.
Cooper turned to where the ref had blown the whistle, his eyebrows knit with confusion as he stood upright in the goal.
「What now?」 He asked the ref.
The referee just laughed and pointed to something behind Cooper, his - and the rest of Cooper’s team - trying to withhold their laughter.
Cooper knew what he was going to see. He sighed and rolled his eyes a little before slowly turning around.
Sure enough, he came face to face with his three year old brother, who, once again, had decided the middle of a soccer game was a good time to climb the net.
「Blaine?」 Cooper crouched down so that he could look his brother in the eye. 」What’re you doing?」
「Climbin’!」 Blaine said as he took a few more steps up the net, his tongue poking out as he struggled to keep his balance.
「Why?」 Cooper asked, a small smirk on his face.
「Cuz I wanna,」 Blaine replied. 」I like climbin’ on stuff.」
Cooper laughed that time, shaking his head as he heard the others around him laughing, too. 」Are you going to do this ever game?」
「Uh-huh,」 Blaine nodded, whimpering a little as his fit slipped a few inches. 」It’s more fun when you’re there to watch out for me.」
A couple of the nearby moms cooed at that, Cooper standing up and walking around the goal post to puck his brother off the net. 」Well how about,」 Cooper started, carrying Blaine back over to his parents, 「That I take you here on Saturday, and you can climb the net all you want.」
「Okay!」 Blaine shrieked, jumping out of his brother’s arms and running back to his mother. 」Mommy!」 Cooper heard him cry as he walked back onto the soccer field. 」Didya see me? I got this much higher than last time!」
