I just got done playing basketball with my brother Chuck. We play about 5 times a week. Usually our games are friendly. Today was different.
We play a game called 21. For the uninitiated, you play to 21 points, with the caveat that – like the card game, you cannot go over 21. This is not really important. The important part is that Chuck made every shot he put up. He was up 20 to 0 like 5 minutes into the game. I responded by going insane.
I kept getting more and more frustrated and angry. I stopped talking to him. I kicked the ball. I threw it at him. After losing twice, I attempted to walk off the court during the third game because I felt that Chuck was no longer playing hard. He had to convince me to come back and finish the game – which I won.
What in god’s name is wrong with me?
Perhaps you are still mad that at Mardi Gras everyone decided that they liked Chuck better than you?
I’m quite used to that, thank you very much.
As I recall, your shooting was not that good at Mardi Gras.
You need to to to time out for a few moments and think about good sportsmanship. Otherwise, it is detention for you!!!!
