Briggs had another soccer game the other day. It was the best game he has played. He had an assist and also scored an almost-goal. The ref didn't actually count it as a goal, but it definitely broke the plane of the goal line, so we are counting it as a goal. (Don't worry. I made sure to heckle the ref.)
Briggs was excited after the game, and we had this conversation in the car on the way home.
Briggs: "That was my best game ever. I scored 2 goals!"
Me: "Well, you made a goal, and you had an assist."
Briggs: "What's an assist?"
Me: "You kicked the ball to the kid who scored the goal, so you helped him score. That's an assist."
Briggs: "So basically I scored 2 goals."
Ummmm...okay.
