so one time gio and i were at a girls softball game. don't ask why we were there, we have our reasons. anyway, there was a girl on the opposing team that had the name "BUBBLES" printed on the back of her jersey. and she was kind of bubbly. well, actually i would use the term "weighty" or even "junk in the trunk". so naturally, my friend and i start to route for her. yelling, "go bubbles!" and hooray for bubbles!"
well, bubbles was up to bat. we were cheering for her, she probably didnt know why. the pitcher threw the ball in that really weird way that softball pitchers do. the ball travels really really fast, towards the ground. it bounces, right into bubbles mouth.
teeth and blood go flying. we stand in awe of what has happened. poor bubbles is escorted off the field holding and ice pack to her mouth with one hand, and her teeth in the other. (i've always wondered why people clap when the person is led off the field after being injured, let me know your best explanation for that in the guestbook.) we were kind of sad for bubbles, we were really routing for her.
after that the team medic, physician whatever came onto the field wearing latex gloves and sprayed and cleaned the dirt onto which bubbles teeth and blood had spattered.
we went on to watch the rest of the game, but it just was not the same without bubbles.
sigh.
so bubbles, keep on swingin and reachin for the stars. and never stop smiling that toothless grin!
