4 or 8

Last night Jaxson and I missed the roping practice but the story told to me is worth sharing.
After a whole lot of try Dawson is finally catching calves in the practice pen.
Dawson roped 4 calves slick around the neck off of his trusty stead, Baldy.
He was feeling like a real pro when Grandpa Jack decided to pump him up more and ask, "how many calves did you catch tonight"?
Standing tall and proud, like a peacock, Dawson said, "8, yep, I think 8."
His demeanor was so serious he may have convinced you.
Well, he ran 10 calves and his Dad's pretty sure only 4 were caught. Hahaha!
  • When you're 7 years old, roping more than one calf makes you feel like you're on fire!
  • More than one catch and you think you OWN the arena!
  • One catch makes up for 2 misses.
  • 4 catches, 8 catches, a little fabricating, does is really matter?
