A young blonde got a job as a gym teacher for a group of 16-year-olds. While she watched the students play soccer on the field, she spotted one boy standing by himself at the far end, away from everyone else.
Feeling sorry for him, she walked over and said, “Hey there, is everything okay?” The boy nodded. Noticing he didn’t want to join in the game, she encouraged him by saying, “You can go and have fun with the others you know.”
To her surprise, he shook his head. “I think it’s better if I stay here,” he answered. The teacher asked more questions like “And why is that sweetie?”
The boy looked puzzled and replied, “Because I’m the goalie!”
Laughing together helps build connections and makes even simple moments brighter.
In a world that can be full of stress and seriousness sometimes moments like this remind us how important laughter is.
