Well, it’s finally here! The Olympics! It’s my first games, ‘cos I’m only 2, and I’m very excited. My mummies have told me what to expect and I’ve watched them play the Olympics Xbox game so I know what most of the events are about. A couple of them make me nervous for some reason; I recoil at the thought of archery and shooting…
I’ve got a vested interest in the sprinting and jumping events being quite the specialist in those fields myself, and I’ve already been forced to watch the ladies football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, handball, hockey… well, anything and everything with a ball in it, with my mummies. With Mummy El being a Personal Trainer she’s like a bunny in a carrot patch at the minute.
I’ve only got one problem with the Olympics, but as problems go it’s quite a big one. I don’t know who to cheer for. Where should my loyalties lie?
Technically, I suppose I’m English; one of my mummies is English, and I was born and raised here, so part of me feels like I should be behind Team GB, but then my other Mummy is German so maybe I should be behind Team Deutschland too… But then going by my bloodline I’m Dutch, so maybe I should be cheering for Holland… Also, I like that their outfits are the colour of carrots.
After a weekend of emotional turmoil worrying myself about the situation I’ve decided that I’m going to follow my mummies’ lead. They’re both equally supportive of the Brits and the Germans and when they play each other they don’t mind who wins. I’ve added my own twist to that; if it’s GB v Germany girls I’ll cheer for the best looking athlete or team and if it’s boys I’ll cheer for the team that’s winning. Sorted.
Right, I’m off to see when the Beach Volleyball is on. If you’d like to watch me in training for the bunny Olympics, please click here!
