We took our kids to see the Globetrotters this week.
Did you ever see them when you were a kid? I can't remember if I did or if I'm remembering them from TV.
We didn't tell them what we were going to see.
When the teams came out to 'warm up', there was a lot of shenanegans and goofing around...
And at first... the kids were confused.
Well, the younger 3 were confused.
Jessica got it and boo'ed and hissed the opposing team along with the croud.
Ellie leaned over and said, with a disapointed air, "Mom. That's bad sportsmanship. You don't boo people who are trying their best."
I giggled and told her it was part of the game.
She looked at me... confused.
AJ, recent expert on the game of Basketball, watched the game for a few minutes and shouted, "MOM! You can't run with the ball! MOOOM, YOU CAN'T HIT THE REFEREE WITH THE BALL."
I looked at him with a barely concealed grin... and said, "You can in THIS game."
Lindsey raised her eyebrows in doubt... but smiled with slow dawning.
Soon, they were screaming and yelling their heads off... having a grand time.
When the final seconds of the game came and went.... sighs of contentment and reinactments were heard all the way home.
We stopped for Frosties and Fries and laughed about our favorite parts of the show.
Smiles of contentment, as I frantically try to imprint this moment in my memories.
