Wow...
So I helped ref a dodgeball tourney this weekend.
I had no idea how serious people take kids throwing balls at other kids.
I leaned over to the other refs and said "This ain't your mamma's dodgeball"
I remember playing the game at the local neighborhood park against a chain link baseball fence.
It was fun and there were no adults yelling from the sidelines what to do. We had to problem solve on our own and if we got hit, we left the field.
It was fun and to be honest, I don't know if we won or lost on most days...I do know it was always girls vs. boys and the boys always felt bad, but the girls never cried...it was more like a flirting match...and lots of laughing!
The tourney this weekend was a lot of fun and people watching was the best...and it did my heart so good to see the 100's of honest kids...
but in life, as in dodgeball there were a few bad apples (98% of them being adults) and as I watched them acting a fool, let's just say, again, lots of laughing!
