Chance attended a rodeo the other night. He loves to see the cowboys at work. As Chance told me,"I love cowboys."This year, Chance and his brother signed up to chase the cash cow. This entailed trying to get money that was attached to a cow. Twelve kids had the opportunity to get any of the $100.00 attached to the cow. The cow was fast. But so is Chance. Chance got close to the cow several times but he would stop just short of touching the cow. The cow would stop too, but then he was off again before Chance got any cash.
Chance's brother got $12.00 and gave $5.00 to Chance since Chance didn't get any money of his own. Chance actually told me that he did get some money, but one of the other kids took it away from him. Chance and his brother were celebrities among their neighborhood friends, many of whom were at the rodeo with their families.
Chance was without implants out in the arena. There was no need really to have Chance's implants fall off to get trampled by a cow or 11 other kids in the excitement of the moment.
So Chance could really focus on the task at hand without the distraction of the roar of the crowd. And now he has $5.00.
Chance loved participating in the race with the cow. He tells the story with much gusto using lots and lots of vocabulary words:)
