Goal Setting

Jack was asked to make a goal for the upcoming year. Much to my surprise, he had no problem picking something. He wanted to learn about soccer. His teacher asked him where he would go to learn about soccer. He said "the internet." I pointed out that there was also this building with books that might be useful. The teacher asked him if there was anything he could practice. He said that he could practice kicking the ball and that we could do this at home on Saturdays. Later on when we were alone, he said that he picked Saturday "because there's not a whole lot else going on." What five year old talks like that and why did my mom laugh when I asked that question?
