Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our Three.

Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation. The phone number is 877-973--25. Can I be a dad for a moment? My wife may, oh, I don't know.

I don't know that I should, but I've had a proud dad moment. And I don't know that I should,

but I'm going to. First of all, so my kids' soccer team,

it was a tied score yesterday. They didn't want to play this other team because the weather was

awful. The other team insisted because the other team is convinced that they're better than my

kid's team, even though my kid's team beat them last year.

So they insisted on playing and wound up being a tied game.

My kid was not able to be there, though.

He got injured.

He got injured during a sporting activity at school, hurt his thumb,

and it wound up throwing his first punch.

You know, there are these moments and I got to just confess something.

My wife is more hands-on with the kids than I am.

Like, for example, today.

I left the house at 8.30,

and I will not be home until around 8 o'clock tonight.

I'm doing six hours.

I really seven hours radio because I had some others to do as well.

And yesterday was the same way.

So there is a kid in class who tends to bully the other kids.

And my son tends never to stick up for himself, but sticks up for everybody else.
