Perhaps his foot is broken?

Soccer mom. Gooooaaaaaallll!!!

At the game a boy complains that his foot hurts and doesn't know why. He played in the game anyway.

I mentioned to his mom, "I wonder if he may have a small break in his foot. Might be worth having a doctor check out. Who knows."

Sure enough....

I've made an agreement that I'm willing to be of service where I can without prying. Otherwise, the antennae's are down. It's nice to throw in little tips like that in a gentle way though. Hope he heals up quick now.
