Yesterday was the last baseball game of the season for Snake. Normally I find baseball interminably boring. When it's played by six year olds though it turns into an entertaining sport. The kids batting swing at the ball like they're trying to swat flies. When a ball is actually hit, and it's not hit directly into the ground, not one child will run after it until it has come to a complete stop. All the kids will then run to the ball, one will jump on it and throw it somewhere, not necessarily where it is supposed to go, but somewhere. The reason the kids don't try to get the ball as soon as it is hit is because at that point they have no idea that the ball was hit. The girl on first base was spinning around, the boy on second was making funny faces at one of the girls on the other team, the boy on third base was sitting down and drawing pictures in the gravel. The outfielders weren't even aware that they were playing. Quite a fun morning.
After the game we had lunch and then I went shopping for my uncle who turned 50 last Tuesday. He wanted a tie that reflected his personality, something with a tattoo design or spiderman pattern. Really? How about something with stripes? That would make my job a lot easier.
