Bizarre line of questioning

Never one to think of myself as a p.c. nazi, I have to say I was a little taken aback by a question asked of me by the FAI. I was filling out a form for my nephew so he could go to a summer soccer camp. The idea is an excellent one, and definitley helps get children out and about during the summer months.
