Josh and his sister and her boyfriend stopped by for a few hours this afternoon on their road trip home to Pennsylvania from Roanoke. I had spent the morning baking, and enjoyed a crackling fire, milk and cookies as we visited. Jay had never been to DC, so he was puzzled when we started talking about kickball leagues.
"Wait! Adults play kickball here?" he asked.
"Yeah," Josh answered. "Down on the mall."
Jay looked incredulous. "How do they play kickball in the mall?" he asked.
"Not 'in'," Josh corrected him. "On."
Heidi nodded sympathetically. "Not a shopping mall," she explained. "It's a big green space with lots of museums in the middle of D.C."
"But they really play kickball there?" Jay clarified.
"They really do," she said, and he shook his head in disbelief.
