Sursels had a volleyball game today, and there is a dedicated cadre of parents who come to watch the games. Today I had the pleasure of watching with one of the coolest parents in the gym.
Because we are parents, cheer every play whether it is successful or not. So do the players. In fact, whenever one of them makes a good play, they high five. When one of them makes a bad play, they low five in support.
My friend mentioned this. "When I was a kid, I don't think we did all that congratulating and touching each other. You know, after every play?"
I thought for a moment and realized that she was right. "Actually, when we were kids, we were a lot more likely to point out the kid who made the bad play and blame him. 'You idiot! Why did you do that? We would have won except for you!'"
"Oh yes. Exactly! Maybe this IS better."

Speaking of off topic...I haven't received it back yet, but once I do (hopefully soon because I sent it a couple weeks ago) I'll resend to you. Sorry about that! I should have sent you a note ahead of time!
