The wind on the mountain has finally died down enough to set up the badminton net. If you've been reading my blog for a while you know what that means--THE BADMINTON CHALLENGE!
Yes, it's all very fascinating that I, a total non-sports type person who randomly trips over her own feet, played badminton in high school. Not only that, but I managed to smash my way to being the top player on the team often enough. (Yes, smash, that is a badminton term. Get with it people!)
This badminton challenge is between me and my husband. We play however many games we can fit into the summer. And last year *gasp* he won. Horrifying, I know. It's funny, when I play, my super secret competitive nature busts out and I play to win. But apparently that wasn't enough this year. Oh no. You know what he said? You aren't going to beat me ever again now that you're middle-aged.
Middle-aged? MIDDLE-AGED! Can you believe it? The nerve of that guy. Just because he's ever so slightly younger. I am so not even close to middle-aged. It wasn't too long ago that I actually got carded. So there.
Yeah, he knows how to get me going, and you know what? I kicked his patootie. That's right. Power to the old people baby!
Ha! I've been playing badminton in the summer since I was a kid. Brittany is known for being windy but I can still rustle up a game. People are always so surprised when I make them eat birdie; innocents just don't understand the thrill of the smash!
ReplyDeleteGo Heather! Beat that youngster!
No way! You play badminton too! I'm sad that you're so far away.
