The kids have been playing on the school sports teams this year. Madison is playing volleyball and Reese is playing soccer. Today the volleyball team takes on the staff. There’s been quite a bit of good natured teasing and trash talking. Some of the 8th grade girls can pound that ball. It will be interesting.
We bumped (see I’m a gamer) up the trash talking today and created a "Release of Whinability" that we are jokingly telling the girls they have to sign. After all, Volleyball against the staff is a dangerous, very dangerous thing and tears on the court are a safety hazard.
I’ve got a bottle of extra strength tylenol, a tube of icy hot, and enough neoprene braces to cover the pipes for winter.
Game on!
