A young blonde landed a job as a physical education teacher for a group of 16-year-olds.

As she supervised the students playing soccer on the field,

she noticed one boy standing alone at the far end, away from the group.

Feeling sympathy for the boy, she approached him.

“Hey there, everything alright?” she asked kindly.

The boy nodded. Sensing his reluctance to join the game, she encouraged him, saying,

“You can go and have fun with the others, you know.”

To her surprise, the boy shook his head.

“I think it’s best if I stay here,” he replied.

The teacher inquired further, “And why is that, honey?”

The boy looked at her confused and said,

“Because I’m the goalie!

”Laughing together not only fosters connection

but also eases tension and brightens even the simplest of moments.
