This thread isn't about my kids, nor any kids I know personally. But when I happened upon this article, and the accompanying video, my heart swelled with pride.
The loyalty and unity that these boys showed to a younger "brother" - their football team's 6 year old water manager - blew me away, and has made international news. I encourage you to check it out - BAND OF BROTHERS (article and video)
Fact is, as honorable as these kids are, some of them (if not most of them) likely face spankings at home. The percentage of parents who spank simply suggest that this is true. Perhaps being held responsible for their occasional missteps has helped give them the courage and character that they proudly displayed for their young friend.
I'm placing a big trophy on the mantle in honor of the Bridgewater Badgers 5th grade football team.
Here is a follow up article and video as well - BAND OF BROTHERS PART 2 (article and video)
