After the game, the visitors coach came up to her (she was at the table) and said, "No fouls? We took a lot of elbows out there." Her reply was classic. "Well, you'd better give them back. We can't have kids going around without elbows!"

At first, I couldn't believe she said that. I looked over at the coach. He looked as if someone just asked him to explain the theory of relativity or something. He turned around and left. I asked her where she ever came up with that. She replied, "Hey, I've been listening to you for four years."

It was a very proud moment for me.
Was it Chelsea?
