Kickball, girls, and life lessons.

The social discoveries made during recess ....


Today we were picking teams for kickball. One boy, a team captain, started his pick with a girl.


His friend was aghast and said, "You picked a GIRL!!"


The 9-year-old team captain turned and put both of his hands on the shoulders of the shocked boy, shook him a little, and said with extreme urgency - "It's OK man, I'm alright with it. They're human beings - they're people!"

For the record, which team won?

Frankly, they fuss so much about which blade of grass is second base and which wood chip is home plate that they never get around to keeping score .... LOL!
