High Five Height

the other weekend i was talking to one of my friends mom's about her nephew who plays frisbee.

she was telling me that he played in georgia and was at club nationals playing on a team called chain lightning, and she asked me if i had seen him. i told her that i did see the team, but im not sure if i saw him because i dont know what he looks like.

she begins to describe him like "hes blonde, and hes very nice, and pretty stocky, and hes about this tall"
and when she describes his height she put her hand at kind of a weird angle at about face height, so i high-fived her.

shockingly, she was taken aback by the fact that i high-fived her in the middle of a description at a time when the desire for a high five was definitely not reciprocated.

i then apologized and said "sorry i thought you were going for a high five!"
to which she naturally responded "well, no...."

and then i listened to the rest of her description of her nice, high-five height nephew, with my hands behind my back.

Celebrations

this weekend, in order for our team to make it into the power pool bracket, a certain team had to beat another. For this reason, we were intently watching their game. After a long fought point, the team we needed to win, won, and so we began celebrating.

this celebration consisted of cheering/shouting/making other happy noises, whilst hugging everyone on our team, or who had an affiliation with our team.

so i am making my way down the sideline, hugging people and making happy shouting noises. however, i get a little carried away, and i see some blue that is the same color as our jerseys right outside a little huddle. thinking that someone on our team is missing out on a hugging opportunity, i walk up to this person, shouting. however, when i get closer, i realize it is an older woman, in a blue polo and a khaki skirt and i am about to give her a hug while shouting directly in her face.

my face changes from excitement to "i have messed up and do not know you" very quickly, which i am fairly certain she noticed, but was polite enough to not say anything about... at least not to my face.
