The kids are keeping score even if it's not posted on a scoreboard.
Ain't that the truth! My 5YO grandson just finished his first year of flag football. Scores weren't kept, but during the post game meal, all he could talk about was his medal for winning an "undefeated championship." lmao
We've created a monster. He'd play football 24/7 if he could, and his favorite game is "NFL Rush Zone", a card-match game with all 32 teams.
