Basketball Conversation
I’m not pretending to have been a great basketball player, but it is my first love when it comes to sports and the sport I know the most about. While my knees (weight gain) keep me from playing the way I want to, I still feel like I could/can teach the sport to others. The following is a conversation I had the other day with my middle son that led me to believe otherwise.
(Walking home after playing baseball, and with a play ground ball which he had been dribbling.)
Me: “You are a good dribbler.”
MS: “When I’m a dad, I’m going to play basketball.”
Me: “I could teach you everything I know about basketball if you would like.”
MS: “DAD … I already know more about basketball than you!”
Me: “Oh …”
MS: “Barney can do a cool trick with a basketball.” (He then went on to describe the trick.)
Me: (In my head) “I don’t like Barney.”
