With a mind of his own

A cute little baby if you had seen one when he first
arrived on the morning of Nov 09, 2002. Typically
one who was doted upon by others in the family he
took it upon himself to hold out on his own.

No one was there to take advantage of him and he
knew that. With a mind of his own, he knew exactly
what was in store for him and he so decided

No surprise then he rebelled against his conscience
and that of others. Rugby seen as rough and tough
but he insisted on taking it up

In 99 words (no more, no less) to
write a semblance of a 'rebellion'

  1. A little rebellion can be a good thing. Sure he'll do grand with Rugby too.

  3. Rugby looks like a relatively safe sport though, isn't it? Compared to American football, anyway! Good that he has developed an interest and is staying active!

  4. He looks like he has good ball handling form, Hank. I'd like to see one of his games. Our granddaughter, six, is in the process of having a mind of her own also.

  5. I think he seem to enjoy his time though... maybe it looks more harsh than it is...

  8. It is wonderful when we can make up our mind at a young age to do what we love...and rebel a little too!
