After I picked up Alex from school this afternoon we came home and were playing a game of hockey in the living room. Just as we were about to start the game he said,

“We need to have a face off first.”

We came to the center of the “ice”. He had his stick on the floor and was holding the ball.

“Now we have to look each other in the eyes, and bring our heads in close.”

So I looked him in the eyes and we got our heads real close and then he added,

“Now we have to make mean faces at each other.”

We frowned at each other, added a growl for good luck and he dropped the ball. Now that’s a proper face off.
