7and8

You know that sound at Wimbledon? That tennis ball sound...*pop*, *pop*. Well it seems tennis balls make that sound not only when struck by rackets but also the human head. 8 found this out the hard way. See I push him on the swing and play fetch with the big dog at the same time. Both need the attention and exercise. It usually goes something like this; push, push, throw, push,push throw. So I start to get bored this afternoon and try to throw the ball over 8's head and between the swing chains. It went something like this; push, throw, push, *pop*. It took him awhile to realize that something had happened. See, he has a head cold right now and had some children's Tylenol on board and I throw the ball as hard as I can to maximize the dog's effort. So this:push, throw, push, *pop* turned into this: push, throw, push, *pop*.....(a look around) crescendo of crying aaaahahAhAHARGH!
