Make Up Game
Published Mar 18, 2003
When my son was around nine, we had a very wet spring causing several of his baseball games to be cancelled or postponed. Finally a make-up game was scheduled for one of the games.
I told my six year old daughter that if she had any homework that day she needed to be sure to complete it during aftercare at school because her brother had a make-up game.
That night since it was still too wet for her to play, she moved from lap to lap. While she was in my lap, she looked at her brother's dug-out and then she looked at the other dug-out.
She turned to me and asked, "Are we wearing make-up or is the other team?"
