Sports, and more sports

Tara has been to a lot of Little League baseball games this spring and summer. She generally does well; we bring snacks, a small pink sports chair. She cheers when we do. And now we have been to two Major League Baseball games and an NFL pre-season football game. That's just the past few weeks. She marches in, pony tail flying around, carrying a purse filled with stuff. (The contents of her five purses would make an entire blog entry).

So she was sitting next to me at the football game, leaning over and smiling at the people on my other side. I look over, there's a very shy 5-year-old boy with his dad, staring at her and trying not to smile. But her grin is contagious. She smiles, she hides her face, she gets on my lap to get a closer look. She smiles demurely. The boy is intrigued, a dimple shows in his cheek.

I say to the boy's father, She's a bit of a flirt.
He responds, "I'LL say!"

She's going to be trouble in her teens, isn't she?
