Preface.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
And I..apparently MAKE 100% of the shots I DO take...at least tonight.
Allow me to explain.
Chapter 1.
I went to Chick-fil-A. With my little brother, Mr. S.
Chapter 2.
I stood patiently waiting for my order to be taken.
Chapter3.
I ordered a #1, well done fries, and a diet coke. (I nearly splurged on a shake, but soon decided that I did not have the funds to agree with my desire)
Chapter4.
Sir. Cash told me about their current promotion. It went something like, "If you upsize your meal (44cents) you can shoot the foam basketball into the hoop (which was behind the counter) If you make it, you get a free dessert."
Chapter 5.
I hesitated.
Chapter 6.
I decided that sometimes, we have to live a little..eve if it is a WHOLE 44 cents worth.
Chapter 7.
I threw the ball in the air a few times..I had to get the feel of the thing.
**(The next 3 chapters occurred over a span of like..3.65 seconds. Ready?)**
Chapter 8.
I went for the shot. It was too high. It hit the Nerf plastic-mabob that attaches it to whatever it was attached to. The ball spun and bounced upward.
Chapter9.
Mr. S and I both "awww-ed" in disappointment...just as the ball fell right through the hoop.
Chapter 10.
I exclaimed my excitement..probably a little louder than was necessary..with numerous fist pumps and a couple of leg kicks..really though..if you'd have seen it, you would have been excited too. Sir Cash of Chick-fil-A said it was the best one he's ever seen.
Chapter 11.
I had a free banana cream pie shake. DeeeLISHus. Every bite filled with bananas, Nilla Wafers, and the taste of sweet, sweet victory.
Have you made any shots today?
