Sally's Dad Gets Football Fever

Do you know Sally’s Dad?

It’s not always easy being Sally. Because Sally’s dad is both embarrassing and silly, and then he comes up with the most far-fetched ideas. But luckily, Sally and little brother Eddie know how to handle their dad. And actually, Sally’s dad is pretty funny too. At least if you ask him.

Sally’s dad would really like Sally to play football and join a club and luckily she agrees. But before she can count to one, dad catches the football fever. He buys a crazy amount of gear, cheers much louder than all the other parents and he butts in on the trainer’s tactics. It turns out that Sally is pretty good at football, even if her dad is much more invested in it than herself. In fact, Dad becomes so over-eager that he ends up messing everything up for both Sally and himself.
