Quickly going into debt

Trevor has become quite the soccer player. Jerel told Trevor that he would pay him $1.00 for every goal that he scored. He thought he was safe since Trevor only scored like one goal all season last year. Two weeks ago, Trevor scored one goal. Jerel happily paid him his money. Last week, Trevor scored SIX goals--yes, that's right, SIX! And to think we have about 8 more games in the season. Maybe Jerel needs to start budgeting now for the rest of the season. :) If Trevor keeps this up, we'll be going into debt to pay him off.

You would think Jerel would learn. When Tanner was this age, his coach told him that his dad would pay him $1.00 for every goal they scored (without checking with us first). We weren't that worried until Tanner scored 8 goals in one of his first games. I still remember him yelling out what we owed him after each goal, "That's 8 dollars, Dad!"

You can see in the first couple pictures what Trevor does after he scores a goal. He clenches his fists and pumps his arms in a "we are the champion" like move. So cute!
