Little-Leaguer: Coach Heather, do you think I can make this shot from way back here at the three-point line?
Coach Heather: Kid, I'll bet you five bucks you can't make that shot.
Coach Amy: Heather! Don't do that!
Coach Heather: What, teach the kids to gamble?
Coach Amy: Well, yeah, but mostly I was thinking that is terrible shot selection for an eleven-year-old.

My sister keeps making fun of me because I'm "almost 30." Because I'm almost 26, which is almost 30 apparently.

I would NEVER make fun of a person from Ohio.

Little Leaguer: *makes shot, nabs 5 bucks from Coach Heather's hand* "Thanks!"

Good thing she didn't really make the shot. I only had a dollar.

Good thing, I'd hate to have to kick you in the nut.
(I'd never do that . . . not to you, anyway)

So,did she make the shot or not?

Be careful with those wagers.
When I was twelve. My coach bet me ten dollars I couldn't make a hook shot from the corner of the court.
I sunk five in a row before he made me run laps and told me never to try that shot in a game.
Of course I did try it in the next game. I missed it by a mile. He benched me. I had to run extra laps for week.
It was worth it.

Heh! Well, if you will come out and coach my daughter, I promise you can teach her and her teammates to gamble. It would be SO worth it!
