Worked like a charm

Colin was playing street hockey last night at the Lightning Radio Show when this girl about his age started getting chippy, cross-checking and slashing him, because he had taken the ball from her a couple of times.

After about the third time of getting whacked, he looked at me with a "What should I do?" look.

I told him he was doing just fine and not to retaliate. Then, loud enough to draw most everyone's attention,  I said: "She's just letting you know she likes you."

He didn't have any issues after that.
