Tales from the Sportsplex

So I was practicing at the Sportsplex tonight, and a little boy skates up to me.

Six-year-old skater: Do you cheer for the Predators?

Me: Yes, I do. Do you?

Six: Yeah, I like the Predators.

Me: Yeah, they’re great.

Six: What number do you go for?

Me: Um, I like all of them. I guess Radulov’s pretty good.

Six: I like Tootoo. He’s the best.

Me: Yeah, he’s a good guy.

Six: He scores all the goals. Like, a hundred.

Me: [*crickets*]

  1. Oh! I thought he was asking you if you were a preds CHEERLEADER. And then I was wondering, ‘were you wearing spandex?’ Then I got it. Don’t you remember when you were a kid and you saw the world as you wanted it to be? I had my own words for songs and I made my heros to be superheros. Them were the days.
