Who Is "They?"
Late this season, I'm working a ms boys game, and in pregame I notice a home player with identical bandaids on each ear. I call him over and ask, "what's under the bandaids?"
"Oh, it's just earrings." "They have to come out if you're going to play." "But they said I could play with them if I taped them over." "Sorry, they were wrong." Since I didn't care at the time who they were, I didn't bother to ask, but I do sort of wonder who "they" are. |
Coaches? Some administrator?

And I wonder what your response would have been had the player said, "nothing".

"They" is a close relative of "Idontknow".

There's ZERO chance I'm going to be asking to look under a bandaid of any sort. (In fact, I probably never get in Adam's situation as I would not have asked). They've got a bandaid, I'm assuming it's there for what it's supposed to be for - and there's no way I want to see some kid's open sore (much less make them possibly have to get another new bandaid when they mess up the first one from me asking to see.) |

U: So, what is underneath that bandaid? An earring?
P: No, sir. I had an earring last game, hidden under a bandaid - slid into home and it hooked on the catcher's earring hidden under a bandaid, and both of them ripped out. The bandaid is covering my ripped earlobe. U: Oh, ok. Um - what about the other ear? P: Uh..... same thing happened 2 games ago? :) |
