I learned something this week. I learned that kids do not go to school around the holidays and they are underfoot and irritating. I also learned that they like video games.
I set Charlie up on the Wii. After I spent about an hour trying to make it work he took the controller from me and had mastered the golf and baseball games in five minutes.
He wanted me to play baseball with him, and it looked fun so I gave it a shot. I took the controller that he programmed for me and swung it like a bat to hit the virtual ball he threw. Strike. Charlie giggled and threw again. Strike 2. Another virtual throw, and I was out.
We changed sides after his perfect inning, and he proceeded to hit everything I threw. This is by a kid, barely 5 years old, that has NEVER played baseball.
Charlie looked at me with a mix of pity and disdain. "I'll play by myself Papaw."
I bet I could take him in tennis if he'd only give me a chance.
