The simplicity of my day to day. |
Use these words in your blog today: mixture, character, marble, division, basketball, expertise, and role. Well, today’s words are certainly a mixture! My role today is to put them into a paragraph or two which will make some sort of interesting reading. I could tell you about the endless, might I even say boring hours of watching various children and grandchildren attempt to master the sport of basketball. I don’t believe any of them rose from out of the bottom division, yet my role was to cheer from the sidelines. but I’m sorry to report none of them had the expertise needed to ever be the champions they aspired to be. Look, I’m no sportswoman myself, the only game I enjoyed was playing marbles when I was a kid. I was a character in my own stories which I started to write even as a small child. I’d write about the tournaments which lasted for hours with myself as the conquering victor. I’d return home having beaten the other kids, winning their best marble, the big one. Any marble larger than the majority would be termed a boulder, bonker, masher, plumper, popper, shooter, thumper, smasher, bumbo, crock, bumboozer, bowler, tonk, tronk, godfather, tom bowler, fourer, giant, dobber, dobbert, or biggie. |
