My four year old son recently had his preschool “sports day” here in Japan. That means the parents get to sit in the hot sun all day as the kids play Taiko drums, make a human pyramid and wear cool headbands in a relay race.

Usually in a race like this you put your fastest runners last. However, one of teams put their slowest kid on the last leg.

Starting with a good half lap lead she got passed by BOTH the other teams RIGHT before the finish line. I really felt sorry for her as I saw it slowly dawn on her face while the red team was celebrating victory behind her.

Anyway, I took an extraordinary pic of it so check it out!
