At the Ice Rink…

I’m skating at the downtown ice rink and there’s a group of teenagers playing tag. One of the kids slams into me and I wamp down to the ground – the teen falls face forward, flips over, and smashes into the wall upside down.

It was cartoonish.

I partially break my fall with my elbow…and my shoulder hurts for the rest of the night.

The teens kept playing tag, and Jamie kept muttering dark threats at them… this is how it went:

“Ugggh. That really hurt my shoulder…bah! ”

“I’ll kick his ass! I don’t like his little friend either. HOW DARE he come and ask to take our picture! Beyotch! I’ll mess him up good! Both o’dem!”

“Oy vey! They are just some teens having fun! Besides, the guy who ran into me totally flew into the wall!”

“I dun’ care! I’ll mess em’ up Minnesota-style!”
