Maddock's first game

It started out ok. he went out on the field for the first play, but when the kid handed the ball off, Maddock didn't move. He didn't try to get flags. Instead he stood there with his fingers in his mouth crying. I was wishing his Daddy was there but he was in Virginia. I tried everything to get him to go back out and play. He just wouldn't go. Maddock has issues with change and lots of people. He kept telling me people where laughing at him. How do you explain that the parents are laughing because its so darn cute watching these boys run around trying to get each others flags.
