Another Christmas vacation story: Basketball.

So over vacation I caught up with my one friend's 2nd-wave feminist muu-muu-wearing mother, who is raising her other daughter's young children.

She was telling me how the 4th-grader is in basketball now, and how she went to the 1st practice with the girl's little brother who's in 2nd grade...

"I couldn't help it," she was like, "But with her red hair, it was like an I Love Lucy episode!"

She then told me how they taught her how to dribble a ball and not to look at it, but then you could see her eyes go over to the ball, which would then fly out of control and she'd go chasing after it, while her little brother grabbed his head and was like, "Grandma, she's so bad!"
