July 2012
 
VINCENT: “DADDY WHEN I GROW UP WILL I CHANGE SHAPE?”
ME: “YES.”
VINCENT: “GOOD. I WANT TO BE WAYNE ROONEY-SHAPED.”
 
 
 
 
“DADDY, WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A SOCCER PLAYER.”
“YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO BE YET, VINCENT, YOU’RE ONLY 6.
“I’M NOT WORRIED. I WANT TO BE A SOCCER PLAYER.”
 
 
The Day After England Lose Quarter Final of EUROS 2012 To Italy On Penalties:
 
“DADDY I DON’T LIKE PENALTIES. IT’S TOO EASY TO SCORE. AND WE SHOULDN’T HAVE HIT THE BAR!”
 
 
 
ME: “VINCENT, YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL.”
VINCENT: “I’M GOING TO KEEP BOTH EYES ON THE BALL DADDY.”
 
 
 
VINCENT: “DADDY DO SOCCER PLAYERS HAVE FREE DRUGS?”
ME: “ER, NO VINCENT. THEY HAVE TO BE DRUG-FREE.”
