is it fall yet?

Walking to school this week Catcher scolded me because last spring I told him kindergarten starts in the fall. Knowing that it is not technically fall yet, he thinks I'm a fraud. Soccer also starts in the fall, but it happens to start in the actual fall, so woe is Catcher waiting for the change of seasons.

This afternoon he tried coercing both of his sisters to play soccer with him, but Scout just stood still on the sidewalk (exhausted, I think, due to no nap and a 102-degree afternoon) while Tillie didn't listen (surprise!) and repeatedly spiked the football on the front porch. Woe is Catcher again.
