The other day, I was playing outside with my son. We played a little football, followed by baseball. I was the pitcher. We played for about twenty minutes, then he wanted to switch.
"Mama, I'm the best pitcher!" he said.
I looked at him sideways. "How do you figure that?"
"Because I know how to pitch the perfect pitch."
"Really?" I asked. "I have to see this!"
"You have to be a really good player to hit it."
"I am a good player," I said.
"Okay. Are you ready?"
I nodded.
He winded up the pitch, and then walked forward.
"Dude, what are you doing?" I asked.
He grinned. "Pitching the perfect pitch."
He dropped the ball at the tip of my left foot.
"That was a perfect pitch?" I asked.
"Yep. It went exactly where I wanted it to go!"
Oy!
Before I go, I'd like to wish all Americans a very Happy Fourth of July!
let him try it with professional players.....
ReplyDeleteI don't think they'll find that acceptable!
DeleteThat way definitely works! lol Have a good weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThe ball went where he wanted it to go!
DeleteHa, the joys of childhood. Heart warming story. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks. You too!
Deletelol I think they'd call that a ball
ReplyDeleteYes. That's exactly what it was. ;0)
DeleteWhat perfect control! lol
ReplyDeleteYour son rides a logic train that cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteYou have to love the way he thinks!
DeleteYour son is so funny Sherry xox

Thanks, Barbara! I hope you enjoyed your 4th, too!
DeleteYou just can't argue with that.
ReplyDeleteCan't get any more controlled than that!
DeleteGreat post Sherry, yope you thought about the poor football lol.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Yes - just like on your post. ;)
DeleteLoopholes! He should be a lawyer.
ReplyDeleteHe'd probably be good at it. Actually, both of my kids would be good at that! ;0)
DeleteHe is always a smart guy. Regards to him.
ReplyDeleteAlways thinking outside the box.
DeleteWell, it was perfect in his way.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteHahaha! Too cute, dear! Happy holidays! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shirley!
DeleteWould that be a balk?
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes, I think you could call it that.
DeleteThe New York Yankees could really use him!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'll send him over there.
DeleteYou don't need to be a great player if you can find a killer loophole. I love that kind of mentality.
ReplyDeleteHe can find all the loopholes!
DeleteHe's a better pitcher than I am.
ReplyDeletebet if you did it his way, you'd be great, too!
Deletethis is good information
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
DeleteThough I'm not familiar with the rules of the game I'm guessing dropping the ball at your feet isn't strictly speaking one of them. Still, you have to love his logic.
ReplyDeleteHe wouldn't get away with that if he was playing on a real team!
