Those of you who want to hear about my dad's sporting pains, READ ON.
My Dad, Brother, and me (occasionally my mom) go play tennis about 4 or 5 nights a week. When my mom doesn't come, it's me against my Dad & Brother. They had a streak of about 10 straight matches won against me. Well, that all changed on Sunday night. I beat them. I came from behind and of course WON. But the reaction was the funniest. They were like "no biggie, we just lost one." Well, it's now Saturday, and my streak has become four straight. We will probably go play tonight, and then it will be five straight. But that's not the point.
After each loss, they got more angry. Just like a volcano preparing to erupt. Towards the end of the match, they (Dad and Dylan) were screaming at themselves, hitting balls 50 feet into the air for no apparent reason, smoke coming out of their ears, throwing mini-tantrums,..........etc..... Me? I'm as cool as the other side of the pillow!
Please! Give them a break. They hadn't loss in who knows when, and when I stomp on their faces, they just can't take it. It's like a dog peeing on your bushes, very annoying. You catch my drift? So cut them some slack. Thursday night was the funniest of all, though. Let me tell you why. I was losing all throughout the match, but naturally came back to win. They were both FURIOUS. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen! Dylan was serving horribly, and I was just cracking up watching him lose point after point. Meanwhile, Dad can't play the net to save his life, which is even more funny because I'm on one side of the court and he tries to hit the ball on the other side, but it either goes out by 2 feet, or right back to me. He'll be the first to tell you that he can't volley for anything. So, by this point I'm in so much pain from being hunched over in laughter they manage to get a couple points on me.
A small price to pay for such high-quality comedy!
The best part is that everyday they will talk smack and be all optimistic blah blah blah..............
Then I just eat their game like Lucy eats popcorn..............................................

OK IM REALLY MAD I JUST TOOK LIKE TEN MINUTES WRITING U A COMMENT B4 I SIGNED IN AND THEN MY STUPID INTERNET WOULD NOT LET ME SIGN IN SO IT ERASED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice post though
Daniel, I've noticed you're really good at "trash talking"......it seems to run in our family. And, you have just as many sayings as Grammy....they're just different.
For example:
Grammy: "mercy in the buckets"
Daniel: "I just eat their game like Lucy eats popcorn"
Grammy: "Madder than a wet hen"
Daniel: "Just like a volcano preparing to erupt"
Those are just some observations I've had. I think you and Grammy should write a book together on deciphering odd sayings. For example: Why would a wet hen be mad, anyway? Grammy, would you care to expound on this topic?
And Daniel: Excellent job, wooping your Dad and brother at tennis......just remember, "pride cometh before a fall?" =)
It is now 5 straight!
