And, more importantly, what are the odds you will ever be on the same team with Miss Sour Puss?? Please tell me you are in different divisions because I would hate to have to sit with your parents in the courtroom while you explain about the melon scoop.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284506527953072539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-86265897561744809162012-04-30T16:18:30.858-04:002012-04-30T16:18:30.858-04:00LOL Annie.

I would either not have asked for the balls (and stewed over it for a few weeks) or asked for them in such a way that everyone would be uncomfortable and angry in the end probably a la Claire Dunphy.<br /><br />Also I am kind of amazed that she *had* the balls....like, it would have made more sense if they'd forgotten to bring some and that's why they avoided the exchange....but to *have* them the whole time. Sheesh. <br /><br />I like tennis posts--they are entertaining and interesting.

While we were playing, they were a little, I don't know, rueful like you get, but basically fine.<br /><br />I've heard it said that it's not nice to beat someone 6-0 6-0, but honestly, I don't have enough control over my own game to back off any, you know? So it's like, if I were a better player I might not have beaten them so badly. LOL. <br /><br />But I also think you do your opponent no favors by taking it easy on them, and if they get wind of you doing it, it's insulting. <br /><br />I don't know! It seems like some people don't really have much personality and what there is of it is peevish.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-29998406206413725872012-04-30T11:45:45.860-04:002012-04-30T11:45:45.860-04:00I think that is a lesson for life, you know: "...I think that is a lesson for life, you know: "one way or another, the loser is out a can of balls."<br /><br />I personally think you let them off easy, too.

You know, she'd break the rules, imagining we'd be too nice to say anything (we often were), and then act all hurt and wronged when we called her out.
