There were two basketball games after school today, and a wardrobe malfunction at each of them. The first happened at the girls game, about five minutes before the end of the game.
The boys had just run to get changed for their game, when one of the 8th grade boys poked his head into the gym, asking for his sister. She was a 4th grader sitting on the bench. She ignored her brother. He kept calling her. Finally her dad up in the bleachers stood up and called to her. It turns out she was wearing her brother's jersey and he needed it for the game.
The other malfunction happened just before halftime of the boys' game. Our team was pretty much creaming our opponents, so the 8th grade boys were benched. They decided that if there were any B squad boys floating around, they could dress and probably even play during the second half. There was only one boy, but man was he excited! He put on his jersey and shorts and was in the gym in no time. There was one slight problem... his boxers were too long and stuck out the bottoms of his gym shorts. Spongebob yellow. His parents and grandparents were all trying to give him advice, "Pull your boxers up!" "No, roll them up a little!" "Pull your gym shorts down a bit!" and so on and so forth. Finally his dad slid over on the bench and tried to tuck them in a little more, but he didn't know what he was doing either.
Someone ended up finding him a bigger pair of shorts to wear and Spongebob was seen no more.
I was just settling in to watch the second half of the boys' game, when a student came up to me and said, "Miss Heintz, my friend barfed in the hall and we need someone to clean it up." Oh joy, just what I want to be doing on a Friday night. But I put on my big girl pants, got the cleaner-upper stuff from my desk drawer and cleaned up the hallway. What an exciting basketball game!
