So one day Aubrey and I are having a chat with my little brother Charles and while I see him almost every day, I don't always get to have a good talk. This particular conversation was regarding what he does at school, especially at recess.

He explained that he plays dodgeball.

I thought there would be more to this, since I used to have a long list of things I would do during recess. From tether ball with Shane to bullet ball with Michael….and sitting in the blue square for punishment. And of course there was that time honored tradition of trying to annoy the girl you have a crush on. I was just curious to see if little Charles has a long list of his own.

"What do you do when you're not playing dodgeball?" I asked.

"Talk"

"About what?"

"Dodgeball".

The difference of conversation topics between the ages was just something I wanted to throw in.
