With shouts of “ Kick it！” eg across thefield， Mikey reared bad gave it everything he rouhe crowd erupted. O ’ Donnel hadscored！ Then there was silence. Mikey had scored all right，but in the wrong goal， ending the game in a tie. For amoment there was total h ush. You see， Mikey hasDown’ s syndrome and for him there is no such thingas a wrong goal. All goals were cele***ted by a joyoushug from Mikey. He had even been known to hug theopposing players when they silence was finally broken when Mikey， hisface filled with joy， grabbed my son， hugged him andyelled， “ I scored！ I scored！ Everybody won！ Everybody won！” For a moment I held my breath， notsure how my son would react.
