little victory

After you play Rooball (under-sevens soccer), you get a strawberry flavoured Chuppa Chup, even if your team has lost 11 to 1. At least, that's how it works in Townsville, Far North Queensland.

catalyst: It does if you were the one in goal during the first half, letting in five, then your only time on the ball in the second was to almost score an own goal.

joey: We are so jolly egalitarian over here. The other team got Chuppa Chups too. It is irresponsible to give beer to six year olds before 4pm.

A promise of a Chuppa Chup might have gotten even me to play Rooball when I was a wee thing.

Rooball- pshaw! Too few accessories.

pheebs: The promise of a Chuppa Chup might still get me to do a few things I'd rather not.

colonel: I'm taking a drawing class & I realised as I stood in the art store yesterday that I'm mostly doing it for the accessories.
