”We need a pitcher not a belly itchier.”

 Dad smiled as he saw the smile on Aaron’s face. At the end of the day a little boy name

Josh and the coach walked Aaron back to the truck. “We have practice on Monday and

Thursday and, we’ll be getting our uniforms on our next practice now you go home and

get a lot of rest. Oh by the way, how did you like hind catcher?”
 

Aaron’s eyes lit up, “I liked it a lot!” Aaron smiled good that your position for now on

and Jimmy will be your relief. I’ll see next week, be ready. Come on Josh if we don’t get

home your mom will send the army out for us. See you guys later he said as he walked to

his small red car.

       “ So,” Dad said, “What do you think?”

       “About what?”

       “About baseball, do you want to play or did you want to keep playing.” Dad was

having a hard time trying not to smile. Aaron was also having a little bit of trouble

keeping his smile hidden. He kept turning his head to look out the window instead of

having to like at that,  “I told you so smile he knew his dad was sporting.”
  

“I guess I can play for a little while. Josh said we would be getting trophies. So dad have

you ever had a trophy before?”

“No I can’t say I have. Is Josh Coach Mikes son?” Dad said as he rounded the corner

before their house.

“Yeah Aaron smiled and did you know that he hated base ball to. He said as soon

as he got out there he just could not wait till the next practice it’s a lot of fun. His dad

said you should not say you hate something before giving it a chance.”

    “His dad sounds like a smart cookie.” Aaron’s dad pulled in to the driveway. His mom

was stand in the doorway waiting for them.
     

“How was practice?” Mom asked

      “ It was great! The coach said I could be a hind catcher. I got to hit the ball and throw

the ball it was so much fun!” Aaron could not keep his excitement in any more he jumped

around as he explains his time at the baseball field.

  “It sounds like you had fun. So you will be going back?” Mom smiled at Aaron.

 “Yes, I can’t wait! I have to practice and get some more gear or will the coach give

me that. Mom, I even get a uniform and a trophy!” Aaron ran into the house as his mom

yelled out to him, “Wash your hands dinners done.”

      
Mom and dad hugged and began to walk in to the house. Aaron yelled out of the

window, “What’s for dinner?”

        “We are having fish and chips!” Mom yelled back. There was silence for a bit as

mom ands dad walked up to the door of the house. Mom and dad walked in to see Aaron

looking at the plates that decorated the dinning table. Aaron looked up at his parents and

said, “I hate fish and chips!”
