on the team

ok so last Friday we had a bit of a scare...i was off (oh joyous free day) and Preston took off as well and we were enjoying our morning, me drawing , Preston watching some scandalous documentary on E. The phone rang....Prestons mom got it downstairs and meekly called up for one of us to answer the phone.....it was the football coach, something had happened. For those who do not know Cortney is in football this year..which i think is awesome..hes going into 8th grade and already is taller than me..he rides his bike to practice every morning on his own ..hes really been responsable and mature about the whole thing. The coach said there was an accident and Cortney's arm was hurt, so Batman and Robin jump in the batmobile and off we go. I pull up to the practice field where the coach leads cortney to the side of the road...arm in sling wrapped in ice and bandage.
"He's still on the team" the coach says..." we tried to figure out what happened but i think someone just fell on it" he said "But he's still on the team".
We get Cortney in the car..wincing from the pain but not in tears, and Preston asks some queations" do you think its broken?"
"Oh yeah....i would say 60 % chance its broken......but hes still on the team"
ok im starting to giggle inside now cause hes crazy talkin now.
We figure out what to do about his bike and his stuff in his locker and go.
"still on the team!".....we hear faintly as we drove off.
In the car i tell him hes doing good for someone whos arm is broke...Cortney says it hurts but his cousin Jay's punches hurt more...funny.
Turns out it was just a minor fracture and he just has to wear a brace for a couple of weeks ..but no activity untill its healed which was a relief.... and hes still on the team.
