Baseball according to O

We went to the Brewers game today and I discovered baseball with O requires a translator.

Glover: the pitcher
Masker: the catcher
Every masker must be Joe Mauer
Sometimes a mitt is a "mitten"
Every hit must be a home run, meaning Bernie Brewer has to go down the big slide in left field
Everything that happens must be followed with a question starting with "Why?"

When we got home from the game, he set up
his John Axford bobblehead that we got at the gate and pretended he was the hitter facing Axford's pitches. I remembered we had a Robin Yount bobblehead from a game last year and now the two of them are facing off in the living room.

The best text ever

Not long after I settled in to my desk this morning, I received this text message from Colin:

"O: I have a good mommy. She's cute and I like her."

If that doesn't get me through the roughest days, I don't know what will.
