How is it you can said "kick" and the other team gets the ball at both halves, but when you said "receive" you don't get it both times?

Seriously? I feel the way I do after my wife asks a stupid football question and I don't want to tell her it's a stupid football question.

You win the toss. Your choice is (i) receive, (ii) kick, or (iii) defer your choice to the 2nd half. If you choose (i) or (ii), then the other team gets to choose in the 2nd half. If you choose (ii), the other team will almost certainly choose (i) in the 2nd half, so you kick twice. If you choose (iii), you will surely receive in the 2nd half, regardless of what the other team elects to do in the 1st half. If you choose (i), then the other team will choose (i) in the second half in virtually all cases. If the other team does choose (ii) in the 2nd half, you get to receive twice.
