None of my friends played sports – except maybe some of the
more athletic boys in my grade. Regardless of what we were playing at school in
PE, I would move to avoid contact with the ball. I never understood all the
fuss over organized sports. I could never work up enough enthusiasm to chase a
ball around. We had been playing baseball and I didn't know the rule of
touching home plate when coming in for a home run, so I ran in that general
area and then back behind the fence.
One of the boys ran around the fence and tagged me with the ball while
he screamed in my face, “YOU DIDN'T TOUCH HOME PLATE!” Seriously? It was so
stupid that I just shrugged.
