A little girl wanted to shoot the basketball. "No, you're too young for that," her uncle asserted.
"I want to shoot the basketball!" the girl went on.
"Marjorie, I said you're too short," the uncle argued.
"I want to shoot the basketball!!" the kid yelled.
"But you're a gir . . .," her uncle tried to plead as she interrupted.
"I said I . . .," she went on as if possessed.
"Ok, here," allowed her uncle. Standing almost under the basket and with her best heave, the niece hurled the ball straight enough but just under the rim. At that point Margorie's father walked into the gymnasium.
"You didn't let her shoot the basketball, did you, Eddie?" the father said to his brother.
"Nothin' but net," the uncle hedged.
About Me
- GrammaRita
- I was born Jewish and only recently converted to LDS. I wasn't that much into religion until I became convinced of the true church. My only sibling is a sister who is a CPA. My father was the general mgr. and treasurer of his company for most of the approx. 30 years he was with it. Before I was born, my mother worked for awhile at RKO studios in Los Angeles. I received a B.A. in math from Vanderbilt and an M.S. in mathematical statistics from Stanford. Since then, I've taught, announced on radio, done baseball public address, sold, and been a casino dealer (since '94). My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary 8/23/08. We have a stepson two states away; and we care for 5 cats, not to mention various ferals that come by.
