"Yea, yea." Garret brushed him off. "Excuses, excuses."
Mahki shot him a glare, but didn't continue to talk about it. Instead, all of our attention was on Jason now. With bases loaded, what will he be able to do?
Jason fouled off a couple of pitches and let the out-of-reach ones pass for balls. On a 3-2 count, he made contact, and the ball shot off his bat, bouncing in the infield grass and finding the gap between the first and second basemen.
Everyone sprinted to the corresponding bases as the right fielder came in to field the ball and made a spectacular throw to home plate, just after Zeke tagged home plate. Julian quickly retreated to third, Noah stayed at second and Jason was safe at first. A single RBI. 3-0.
M (6 year old nephew): Aunt, look at my costume! Guess who I am!
Me: black panther.
M: how’d you know?
Me: your mask is on top of your head. (I notice some dark hair on his back so I brush it off.) Where did all this hair come from?
M: I cut it.
Me (ominous feeling): cut it from where?
M (moves mask from top of his head to reveal his *new* haircut): From my head
I died laughing as my sister screamed in horror. My sister immediately took him to get it fixed since he has school tomorrow.
