Making Middle Schoolers Cry Since 2007….

Funny Story:

Last night I went to the youth group my friend leads. At the end of the night, the kids went into the gym to play dodgeball. Of course I had to get in on the action. Well, I threw a ball as hard as I could with spirit into a group of kids. The ball hit a smallish middle school boy in the stomach and he immediately started crying and walked off the floor. I felt terrible and went over to talk to him and to tell him I didn’t mean to make him cry (ok, i said i didn’t mean to hit him that hard, but what i really meant was that i felt bad that he was crying). I let one of his youth leaders take over and I went back to playing dodgeball. Toward the end of the night, the kid was leaving and I went over to him to give him a high five and to once again say I was sorry. He ignored me, looked straight ahead, and kept walking. At that point I was a lot less sorry I made him cry.

By the way, go buy The Photograph E.P. by Lakes right now. It’s a really great collection of songs. You’ll be glad you did.
