Once again I overheard a conversation between my kids and a play date that had me chuckling.

I wasn’t eavesdropping intentionally but unless you are caught with a cup pressed up against a wall, how can anyone prove you are intentionally eavesdropping?

I was floating in and out, serving snacks and rum-based drinks to the children, throwing in the odd, “Are you all ready for school?” required Mom tidbit before disappearing for my fifteen minute break in between rounds.

I overheard my kid’s friend mention her gym teacher at school and how she really didn’t know much about basketball.

Make that two of us.

The friend proceeded to imitate in an exaggerated way a basketball lay-up as portrayed by this inexperienced teacher. I personally thought the lay-up looked about as perfect as they get but it may have been backwards or upside down and I guess it looked a little silly without a ball, or a net, while wearing flip-flops and gummy worm fangs.

Hanna’s response was bang-on.

Hanna: Wow, she sounds cheap.

?

Wait, is cheap the new sick? Epic?

I’m going to need a cup to hear how this one ends.
