D9 today gave us an interesting child’s eye view of our home. She was explaining to a friend how to get here. She gave the address and then proceeded to describe our house so they could find it. We listened as she described the landmarks….a chain basketball hoop, a green minivan and a tan car. She didn’t mention the color of the house, the chain link fence or the obvious things. The top of her list was the chain basketball hoop. You see, the girls have mentioned that we need a new basketball hoop because it wasn’t like they were used to. When we bought the house we inherited the basketball hoop. Our two youngest both play basketball so this was a nice addition. Who would have thought, however, how important that “chain” basketball hoop would become.
Did the dad driving see the hoop as he cruised the street? Probably not, but to D9 that was the easiest thing to spot. All in a child’s eye….maybe we should try it sometime.
