Which has images of Cristiano Ronaldo playing ball with some little German boys in Portuguese T-shirts (well, I'm assuming they're little German boys). And I got all clucky and maternal again and had the following thoughts:

I am officially in love.

And those little boys: They look so happy!

I now wish that my little son could be those boys.

It is bizarre, I tell you, to share a manly love with one's eight-year-old. "Mama, I like Kaká better than Ronaldinho now; his name is so cool. When can we get the number 8 Kaká shirt? Look, I got the Kaká Panini sticker!"

I am drooling over my son's Panini football sticker book!

Life is so wrong.













The sight of that little boy in the last picture pulling up his T-shirt just kills me.
