AT THE SOFTBALL GAME

AT THE SOFTBALL GAME
By Roberta C.M. DeCaprio

Mother's Day weekend I went with my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter out to breakfast. Later we went to watch my granddaugter play in a softball game. She's only seven, and just a wisp of a thing, as is all the other girls on her team.
One little girl comes up to play, the bat almost as big as her, and turns to her mother and said, "If I hit this ball, can we go for lobster?"
My daughter-in-law turns to me and says exactly what I was thinking. "What happened to going for icecream?"
Kids today have richer taste buds!
