Ball

January 6th, 2008

After Matt returns from playing basketball, a real game, for the first time in almost 2 years:

Siena: Hi, Daddy. I need a hug. (She was going to bed.)
Matt: Hi, sweety. You should be sleeping. It’s almost 9 o’clock.
Siena: Daddy, did you win your basketball game?
Matt: We did, sweety. Goodnight.
Siena: Did you score some 3 points or 5 points?
Matt: Yes, sweety, I scored some 3-point shots and we won by 8 points.
Siena (in her most shocked, surprised voice): I can’t even believe that you won your game.
Matt: I know, sweety, I know. I’ll tell you about it in the morning.
At this point, I walked out thinking, “I can’t even believe I played in a game and lived to tell about it.”
