My favorite boy talks a lot about sports. He is very mathematical by nature, and he loves to look at the sports page to see all the scores and statistics. I think his experience with the sports page has led to a few misunderstandings about his upcoming first year of baseball. We have had several recent conversations that have made me smile.

Conversation #1

Mom: I can't wait to come to your games.

Favorite Boy: Yeah. I hope you will be able to get tickets. If you can't, you won't be able to come.

Conversation #2

Favorite Boy: I can't wait to see the scores from my games in the paper!

Mom: Honey, I don't think they put the scores from the 5 year-old league in the paper (I didn't even tell him that they don't keep score yet).

Conversation #3

Favorite Boy (after looking at his schedule): Wow! I am going to be travelling a lot!

Dad: Son, your games are all at the same field.

Favorite Boy: No, look Dad! We play the Braves, Cardinals, Rockies...

I just love it, and I can't wait to see him in his uniform! I cherish conversations like these! He thinks he is SO BIG; but to his Mom, he will always be my favorite LITTLE boy (I just can't say that out loud)!
