Man: [Entering house from backyard, calmly] Sis, your boy’s in the fetal position in the yard, holding his head and crying.
Woman: [Runs outside] Honey, you okay?
Boy: [With giant bump in center of forehead] Waaah.
Woman: Oh, honey. [Hug] You have to watch out. You can’t stand so close to her when she’s swinging the bat.
Girl: [Cautiously] It was an accident.
Woman: I know. I got your uncle Mig with a golf club the same way when we were kids.
okay, baseball bat is painful, but golf club? that trajectory seems rather threatening to um… vital parts.
she has a great follow-through. got me in the neck, on the backswing. or whatever it’s called.
My boyfriend played softball last night and came home 1. complaining that people did not like that he threw the bat every time he swung; and 2. he is very worried that he will hit someone. I told him to stop throwing the bat. Maybe I’ll tell him to warn people not to stand too close, too. A couple yards should be sufficient, right?
