I got to get some basketball time on the court tonight and it was fun for the most part. I went out to Nolblesville, where my nephews roam! We played several games and talked trash like we often do, but two of my nephews got into a heated argument over some call that I don't even recall. I ignored it at first but then the words got stronger and the looks got meaner.
It really hurt my feelings to see family go at it so hard, but I understand that men gotta work it out-how they have to work it out. A part of me wanted to just stop the game and talk to them about what the real issue was, but it wasn't my place or time for that type of intervention. I honestly think that these two are teenagers who are close in age, but somehow in competition with each other. Perhaps the younger of the two does get some breaks that the older one doesn't get, but then again the younger one doesn't have a car nor a job. So it seems to be that both are fans of what the other has-lol.
Oh well, perhaps I am just getting soft in my old age and just want everybody to get together and get along perfectly all the time. I know that wont ever happen, but I can at least hope for the best-right? This is my family.....In fact, there are more like friends. Time will tell what happens...
I am Ward.....

Sounds like my kids. Always fighting over something stupid and then friends again the next 5 minutes. Have you ever considered punching them in the neck as an example? Worked when I did it.
