Anyway, after recording his weight they sent us back to a room with huge towering shelves teaming with helmets. Greg was to try a few on, find a good fit, and sign for it. No problem, G.M. boys were there, so I wouldn't have to figure out what a "good fit" should be.
Seconds after stepping foot into this room I glanced up and saw the most beautiful helmet imaginable staring down at me. It was as if God himself placed the helmet there and shone a bright light on it at that exact moment. I had to catch my breath...I touched Greg's shoulder and pointed to the third shelf from the top. "I don't care if the thing fits...we have to have it!" He ran and snatched the helmet up, shoved it on his head and wonder of all wonders...IT FIT!!!
It's a little scratched up and a little old, but that's alright. The other boys left with shiny white helmets, but not mine. My son proudly walked out of that warehouse wearing the biggest and brightest smile you can imagine and carrying the only helmet with a logo stenciled across the side......
The Kansas City Chiefs Arrowhead.
And the Heavens were opened, and a bright light shone down on the earth, and the angels sang: "Hallelujah....GO CHIEFS!!"ooooooh-oh-oh-oooooooh (doing the "tomahawk chop" as I end this.)

GO CHIEFS!!
God knows just what a little boy needs..
Thank you God! Our prayers have been answered. Kayl may lack the weight(in our family!?) on his body but his pride and spirit will carry him thru. WE EXALT THEE. And truly we do.
GO CHIEFS!!!
PS - This weeks Chiefs game was moved to Friday at 6:00 due to the hurricane in Florida...
As Bubby would say, "Touch Down"!!! "Chiefs"!!
this made me laugh cause my son was same way he was so hyper he couldnt gain weight his first weigh in 50 lbs soaking wet at 5 years old if the guy signing him up hadnt have coached me they would have sent him away. but he always had speed on his side and out ran everybody. anyway enjoyed the read but I do have to say go Falcons
Good job on picking an awesome helmet bubba. Don't forget I wasn't big when I played football either sister. GO CHIEFS and GO KAYL!!!
You are so funny...I can't believe you found a helmet with the Chiefs on it.
It is good some other kid didn't end up with it first...that might have gotten messy, huh?
Go Kayl!!
RahRah!!
But I need to tell you this about your grandma: I really like the chiefs UNLESS they play the Broncos then I must admit I root for them. Now you know.
Go Chiefs...
