He was all jazzed up for this, went down to wal-mart with his mom and 11 year old sister Alix to buy all the stuff he needed this year. . His mom showed him a jock strap for the cup and he says there was no way he was wearing that ugly thing, he just wouldn't play. So daughter Jill found him a pair of sliding shorts with a built in pouch for the cup. He said he needed that pouch for his cup. his sister says, "your nuts!", he says, "no , not my nuts, my balls!" sister says, "you have no balls", he says, "Mom, tell her I have balls, I was born with them!" daughter Jill has her eyes rolled up into her head while picking up socks to match his baseball shirt, then looks around to make sure half the store is not taking this conversation in. When they get home, he cleaned out one of his drawers and put all his baseball stuff in just a cer! tain place, and yes, a special place for his "cup", you would have thought it was the "Holy Grail". The first game of the season, all the little guys are in the dugout playing bongo drums on their cups and laughing their butts off. Dianne Heryford EarthLink Revolves Around You.
