i was playing volleyball last night and one of the teams that we were playing against this one all girls team. they were a pretty good team, they have very good form and they have a solid game. they were a pretty young team, i’d say that they were still in high school.

as i was going up to block (yeah, i was blocking because these girls can hit HARD!) the girl opposite me jumped up and went under the net. her foot was under the net and i landed on her foot. as i started to feel my ankle wobble on the unsteady footing, i just let my whole body fall to the ground hoping that i wouldn’t hurt my ankle much.

the other girl then exclaims, “oh! i’m so sorry, sir! are you ok, sir?”

all thoughts of pain disappeared from my mind.

SIR?! did she just call me sir?! man…i mean, i know that i’m older than she is, but really, do i look THAT much older? sheesh.
