Do you have your lottery ticket?

One difference between raising a kid these days and raising a kid in prior generations is that in "the ole days" when you finally saw your kid pick up a bat and hit the doorjam in the same spot time after time after time, you thought "hey, in the fall he's going to be able to help me chop firewood for the winter."

Nowadays though, when you watch your kid do something new or coordinated, you start to wonder if you're sitting on a lottery ticket. Will he grow up to be the next Michael Jordon? Maybe David Beckham (threw him in for the international readers. Irene seems to know about him. To me, he's just the guy that's married to Posh-Spice)? Or perhaps, we, umm, I mean he, will be doubley lucky like Tom Brady and Tiger Woods and be a major sports star AND dating/married to a super-model!

Well Easter Sunday was not only the latest anniversary of Jesus Christ rising from the dead, but also Brady's first recognition and verbal identification of the aforesaid Tiger Woods. We were watching TV at my aunt's house and flipped to the PGA Tournament which was showing Tiger putting for birdie. At that very moment Brady exclaimed "Tiger Woods" and pointed to him.

Being Chinese, Brady may be too small to play in the NFL and too short to play in the NBA. I've ruled out Hockey because pee-wee hockey is too much to do. And Major League Soccer is still being out-rated on ESPN by Texas Hold'em poker events. However, he can go all the way in golf!

So save these clips because in 20 years people will be watching them saying "that's Brady Chin when he was small!"

In case any of you are wondering how little Brady compares with Tiger when he was just a Tigger - Mr. Woods started playing golf at age 2 and at age 3 shot a 48 over nine holes on a Navy golf course. And for those non-golfers, if I'm hot then I'm shooting a 42 over nine holes, so baby Tigger's score is VERY impressive.

Brady is not quite 2 years old, but is clearly showing he has the golfing bug.
