I Got 99 Problems...

These girls, right here:

are the Queens of One Liners.

Some of the things they say, I have no idea where they get them from.

Monday night was their first softball game in the big league.
And Alex was scared.

You see, Alex kinda like her Mom thinks/knows she is good at everything. So she expects everything to come natural to her.

Unfortunately, softball is Kate's jam.
Alex is good too, she's just not as into it as Kate.

Alex was NERVOUS about batting against a little girl pitching {as opposed to a coach pitching like she is use to}.
And I can't say that I blame her.
She didn't even get a chance to bat off one during practice.

She gets up to bat.
And swings at the first three pitches.
Out.
Fail.

Poor thing.
Her head dropped and she walked back to the dugout.
It didn't help any that her sister did really well.

But that's the way life goes sometimes.
She can't be good at everything the first time she tries.
I'm sad that she struck out, but I also appreciate the dose of reality that she got.
Now she knows she has to try harder next time.

She wouldn't talk at all after the game.
FH and I both tried to get her to smile and it wasn't happening.

Then we got into the car, and she randomly said from the backseat:
"I got 99 problems and softball is one of them."

I died.
And she finally laughed.

Life isn't all about hitting the ball, it's more about how you react when you don't. And if she can bust out a one liner like that after a strike out, I'm pretty proud.

Happy Hump Day Friends!!! Pin It Now!
