Is there a soccer player named Clean-uppie?

This morning I said to Eliot, "I think we should clean up the toys in the living room a little bit."
Eliot: "Why?"
Mama: "Because it's messy. And I don't mean like the soccer player."
(pause)
Eliot: "But the soccer players leave all the balls on the field."
Mama: "I know, I'm just making a joke, because there's that soccer player whose name is Messi."
(pause)
Eliot: "Is there a soccer player named Clean-uppie?"
