“I told you before. And I know it sounds crazy, but this is exactly what happened…”
Joey was being dramatic for emphasis. “First, I was winding up like I always do.” Joey was 12. An all-star on his Little League baseball team. Jenny watched closely as he was talking and going through his pitching motion. That made Joey even more dramatic. Though not yet a girlfriend, Jenny was a friend of the opposite sex that Joey really wanted to get to know.
“Just as I was turning to get all of my weight behind the pitch, a bird flew by and SMACK, hit me right in the face. It hurt, so I quickly brought my hand to my face, and unfortunately for me, it was the hand holding the ball!”
