Tonight during the halftime of Cat's basketball game, my three younger kids rushed the court to have their turn. Eliza had the ball, so Jack started shooting with something else: Spot, the small stuffed puppy dog who joined our family about 4 years ago. Watching Jack propel Spot toward the basket, I thought, "Is he trying to get Spot stuck in the net?" And a few seconds later, that's exactly what Spot was. Cat was one of the first to notice what happened, so she came over and tried to knock Spot loose with a basketball. After a few attempts, another adult nearby decided to give it a try, but still no luck. Finally, Cat's coach came over and jumped up a few times to knock the poor, strangling puppy dog out of the basketball net.
I probably should have gone over to help but I was too busy laughing. And taking pictures. (Besides, I don't think I would have done any better with getting Spot loose, to be honest.)
Perhaps we shouldn't bring Spot to any more basketball games. Or maybe I shouldn't bring Jack?
You are too funny!
