Feeling she was making progress

A blonde began a job as an elementary school counselor and she was eager to
help. One day during recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side
of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the
other.
The blonde approached and asked if she was all right.


The girl said she was.


A little while later, however, Sandy noticed the girl was in the same spot,
still by herself. Approaching again, Sandy offered, "Would you like me to be
your friend?"


The girl hesitated, then said, "Okay," looking at the woman suspiciously.


Feeling she was making progress, the blonde then asked, "Why are you standing
here all alone?"


"Because," the little girl said with great exasperation, "I'm the goalie!"
