Ah,
the insecurities of youth:
What I imagined the people around me were saying when I was eleven:
“Oh, man, I can’t believe that kid Simon missed that ground ball! How pathetic!”
“Wait. He’s staring at his baseball glove with a confused expression on his face. Maybe there’s something wrong with his glove and that’s why he messed up.”
“Yeah, that’s probably what happened.”
My favourite part, though, the keyword tags for the article. Seven things that should
always go together:
- Chilren
- Teen-agers
- Baseball
- Erections
- Mothers
- Concerts
- Popularity
