The boy and I are happily playing cricket inside. I bowl the ball at his bat and then he whacks it back to me.
“Galen, could I please just watch this on TV for a bit?”
starts watching tv
THWACK – the ball hits my nose.
“OW!”
LAUGHTER
“OK, I can play cricket again now.”
“No, watch TV.”
And just like that, the boy spent the next 10 minutes throwing a cricket ball at the side of my head.
