I got word the other day that Birth Mother has been recruited for a half court senior basketball team. I couldn’t get over here fast enough to run tell it. My fingers got crossed up and everything.

Now, she swears up, down and crossways she was hot stuff on the court back in the day. That would’ve been before I came along ’cause I don’t recollect her hands on no basketball. Ever! Folk get real creative over what they’ve done and haven’t done once they get up in age. I always listen like I had a ringside seat and egg on the story ’cause why not? Say, you were on the back porch and threw the ball downtown? Get yo’ self outta here!

Well!

Apparently, this is serious and beyond local. These seniors had a tournament in Florida last year! Birth Mother would be the eldest team member and I’m all giggles in visualizing these women hooping on the court. Being a basketball fan, it’s a must-see event.

Other than it being hilarious, I think it’s beautiful that they’re living with such vitality. The recruiter says they have good fun and while Birth Mother is deliberating, I’m encouraging her to show’em what she’s got.

Based on what she told the recruiter, they’ve got themselves a Steph Curry!
