When my brother was
a wee lad, he and my Dad would spend many hours in the back yard playing catch.
Baseball, football and whatever other catch-able ball they could throw at each
other. In the winter months, they would move the game inside, with Will
standing at one corner of the room, chucking balls at my Dad in his recliner at
the other end. It was never ending. Even when my Dad wasn’t playing, Will would
still wind up and throw things at him, catching him off-guard many times,
hitting him in the chest or face, and resulting in my Dad forming a nervous
tick of sorts whenever someone around him swung their arms in a throwing
motion.
And just like his
Godfather, my Luke has developed a strong arm and a love of throwing. And after
being surrounded by Princesses and Barbies for the past four years, Chris has
welcomed the nonstop ball throwing with open arms. Literally.
And not to brag,
but Pookie has a pretty good arm. From an early age, without coaching, he has
been able to throw a decent spiral. And not just with a ball, pretty much
everything he can palm gets clutched in his right hand, cocked back behind his
shoulder and released with a enough force to hit you square in the gut while
standing five feet away.
So when you see
this, get ready to catch something. Or be prepared for something to bounce off
of you.
