How can I convince my little brother that it's too late to swim in the Olympics

Question

He just saw the Olympic stuff on TV, and he is telling me that he is going to swim in the Olympics. I tried to explain that they are in China, but he's running around the house with a towel around his neck and a scuba mask, and besides that I just saw him trying to swim in the bathtub.

This is so annoying!

Answer 1

Just let him do it. Or better yet, take him to the local pool and go swimming with him.  

Answer 2

Just encourage him. Just go with the flow and you will enjoy much better. Maybe someday you could accompany him to future Olympics. Who knows. Maybe it is the towel and scuba's destiny.

Answer 3

aww i think its cute just ignore him if it bothers you its not right to wanna crush his lil dreams

Answer 4

Tell him that he wont make it this year, but if he practices enough he's sure to make it someday. Besides, it's probably just a stage, after the Swimming Olympics are over, he'll totally forget about it.

Good Luck! =]

Answer 5

LOL.  Tell him to keep practicing and maybe one day he will be able to join the Olympic team just not this time.
