Dad planned to start Ray's basketball training with a junior size ball at age of 5. What surprised dad was Ray preferred starting from dad's game ball and could pat it fairly well. So we have this designed point guard pose. "Move quick, my man."

Self-promotion master ONE TWO THREE
Ray wasn't the best scorer in the soccer team. The little hesitation in front of the gate always cost him a chance to score. But Ray ran pretty fast and certainly was a good defender. The second half of last week game became Ray's show time. Ray's teammate Kevin and B&B twins all were too tired to run. Ray was the only guy on his team, who still could play. And he played against three guys in the other team and scored twice. The other team got nothing, though they won with a big margin in the first half. Ray's heroic behavior impressed many moms and dads, so that they came to ask what other sports Ray liked to do other than soccer. Ray earned a name of a great endurance.
To encourage Ray, at bath time in the evening, dad mentioned to Ray:" Ray, you did a good job. You played against three guys today."
"Yes, ONE person plays against THREE persons. And HE won TWO points!!!" With a great pride on his face, Ray looked like talking about a sports legend.

Fix Tony
Tony started complaining about going to school. He refused to go to his own class. Instead he wanted to go to Ray's class. According to Mrs. Betty's analysis, he figured out school wasn't as fun as he thought in the beginning. Thus the first week honeymoon was over. In the morning, Tony often made a scene with kicking, crying and rolling on the ground, as long as it was not dad sending him to school.
Dad was out of town for China for a couple of weeks. Then it was completely mom's job to send them to school. Mom was worried.
One morning, on the way to school, Tony was complaining that his tommy hurt.
"I want to have medicine." Tony cried.
"No, you are lying. You just don't want to go to school." Ray said.
"My tommy hurts. I really need medicine." Tony insisted.
"We are not doctors. How could we give you medicine." Ray replied.
Tony kept mourning, which really annoyed Ray and Mom.
"If you stopped crying, I will give you a candy." Ray offered.
Like a miracle, Ray did bring out a candy somewhere and put it into Tony's hand.
This bought a peace on the way.
Then when they arrived school. Tony refused to get into school.
Then Ray offered again. "If you stop crying and get into school, I will put a candy into your pocket." Ray did get another candy and calmly put it into Tony's pocket. Then Tony stopped crying and got into school as happy as a magpie.
Since that day, Tony never complained about going to school. We had no clue how it happened.
