Olympic Bound?

While waiting on the World Cup Us/England game to come on we were watching some college decathletes competing. He is how the conversation went:

Blake: I would like to try out for the Olympics!

Russ/Me: Oh, Really... doing what?

Blake: Hmmmm, I don't know, how about SNOWBOARDING?

Me (Trying desperately not to laugh and knowing the answer already as the most snow he has seen in his life thus far is 1 inch): Have you ever BEEN on a snowboard?

Blake: Uhhmmm, no!


Do you think we are failing at our job of keeping him "grounded in reality"? I mean... I guess he could move somewhere, at some point in his future, be surrounded by snow most of the year, and have a natural talent for snowboarding, and end up at the Olympic games of 2025 or thereafter... Though, likely not... hee hee hee
