Out of the Kitchen
Responding to my desire to learn how to throw a wicked curve ball, Mom says,
without hesitation, “You’ll just have to wait until the baby bottles finish
boiling. If you’re in such a big hurry you can help by taking them from the
kettle.” She hands me the tongs, “Put them on the counter to dry while I get
Dori from her rocker and dressed to go outside.”
The little league coach, Mr. Temple, praises my winning performance, says I’m
his new star pitcher.
“What a great curve ball, Ace. I bet your dad is really proud.”
