Quizzing September 29, 2007

Today was the first quiz meet.

It was exhausting.

It was a lot of fun…

me:  “John, are you going to gamble away your team’s roster again?”

John:  O_o “huh?”

me:  “Remember… Districts… you had Bethany and Kenny on your team?”

John:  o_O “Huhhhhh?”

me:  “And you bet the roster —”

John:  “I do not remember!”

Molly:  *sigh*  “Look at the way he’s standing so stiffly.  Huh?  ME?!?“

Tim:  *comes over to me*  *starts talking about the military show we were all at a few weeks ago*

us:  *are going on and on about it*

Mark:  (who was on my Districts team, and Tim’s regular team)  *gives us look like What are you two quizzing on?“

I guess that it’s just unusual for quizzers from different churches to do things together outside of quizzing.  But Tim and I have seen each other at two — count ‘em, TWO, non-quiz related activities in the past summer.

*gasp*

me:  *trying to be an encouraging captain*  “So, Lizzy, do you specialize in anything?”

Mr. G:  (our lovely coach)  *begins laughing uncontrollably* 

me and Lizzy:  *glare*

Mr. G:  “I’m sorry –” *laughs*

us:  *glare*

Mr. G:  “It’s just — her FACE!”

us:  *glare*

Mr. G:  *laughs*

me:  “You’re not very nice.”

Mr. G:  “But did you see her face?!?  It was SOOOOO funny!  She’s just like, what???“

Lizzy:  *glare*  (she glares quite well)  “Mr. G, I think we’re going to fire you as coach.”

Mr. G:  *laughs*

Johnny:  “Your paint did not help me.  I did horribly in the Top Ten quiz!”

me:  “Erm… that’s because you put too much on.”

Mr. D:  “Emily, I’m sorry.  Hugs (the little stuffed buddy) is not holding down his seat.  I’m just going to turn his light off.”

*yawn*

More stories to follow, I’m sure…

Goodnight.
