Friday night was my first broomball experience. Well, umm, is that broomball? I thought broomball required brooms. Like I said, I've never played so I really don't know.
I was terrible, of course. I think I knocked the ball into our own goal on accident, more than blocking it. I DID score once. I was pretty proud of that. My favorite part of the evening was the America's Funniest Home Video-Like Falls that seemed to hit almost everyone on the rink. It's just like watching AFV, you watch a person totally wipe out, your first reaction is to gasp, but then you just can't help laughing afterwards. I'm THE worst at laughing at inappropriate things.
For example, I have a new kid in speech class. I'm teaching him the "sh" sound. He's terrible, absolutely terrible at figuring out the "sh". I've had him for a couple of weeks and he still can't just say "shhh". The other day I started laughing at him. He puckered his lips but didn't put his tongue on the roof of his mouth. I couldn't help but laugh and say "You're just blowing out air! You're not doing anything. You have to make some kind of sound." Luckily, he thought it was funny too, otherwise I would've offended the New Kid.
My helmet was so big,

I am seriously laughing hysterically out loud. I am also the worst at laughing at inappropriate things. I LOVE it when I see people fall. I can just picture you saying. "You are just blowing air!"
We used to take our youth group to play broom ball. I was the one on the sidelines taking pictures of everyone falling down! I enjoy reading all of your funny conversations with kids...makes me miss teaching!
