Field day!
Yesterday we did field day at Sam's school. That's a bunch of elementary kids running around from station to station doing activities for the end of the year.
My station this year was base running. All I had to do was let the kids run the bases of a baseball diamond and I timed them. I yelled a bunch, too. It was all encouraging like, "yeah tag it!" or "run run run!" or "Well you'd be out at 2nd, but keep going" or the ever popular, "um are you OK?" That last one was usually followed up with, "Do you want another turn?"
3 kids total bit it. No blood so I call that a win.
Of course I was nice to all of them (You have to be. They make you be nice.) but man were there some kids who run... well ... to say the... just like me. I felt so bad for some of them that I cut their time a little.
Well seriously dude that's a good time for a 4th grader and hey you managed to include the pitcher's mound as well as 2 of the bases so you go!
Then they gave me a Popsicle. I mean seriously don't you miss grade school, too?
