| Jack of All Trades, Master of Nothing  |
Not sure if I should be proud or scared. Today was registration and official practice for the Arizona Cup. A male archer from Europe with a very heavy accent looked at my daughter and condescendingly asked, "Little girl, are you sure you can shoot that far?" Her response? "Let's go! One arrow, closest to the X, twenty bucks!" Yes, she was betting her lunch money that I gave her. Well, the European was off in the 9 ring and my daughter absolutely center punched the X. Then he tried to renege on the bet. Not a smart thing to do on my daughter's home field. Other archers, coaches, and parents witnessed it, stepped up and absolutely shamed him into paying. It was hilarious to watch, one man being surrounded and a chorus of Hans and Franz imitations and insults being slew. I was worried about our daughter being an, "Archery Orphan" this weekend on her own with my wife and I both working the tournament. After seeing her extended archery family support her, I'm not really worried about what the rest of the weekend may bring. My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball. | ||

Makes me smile.  ► 6.4/93.6 “I regret that I am to now die in the belief, that the useless sacrifice of themselves by the generation of 1776, to acquire self-government and happiness to their country, is to be thrown away by the unwise and unworthy passions of their sons, and that my only consolation is to be, that I live not to weep over it.” — Thomas Jefferson | |||

That is Excellent! You don't have to worry yet about the Hustler thing though... Next up, she will lose the first bet, just barely... Then smile sweetly, and ask, "Want to go Double or Nothing?"  Her response was so full of WIN though, it is priceless! Please give her a big hug from Don! _______________________ Living the Dream... One Day at a Time. | |||

Good for her. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Damn! No don't give her a cue stick next! LOL Too bad her interaction and the follow up from her support group wasn't captured on video. That would have been great to watch!This message has been edited.

In your last thread I mentioned that Maya was mature beyond her years. She proved me right. Shoot straight Maya and take no prisoners. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

What would REALLY blow their minds is if she finds this person again, and buys him lunch! | |||

What an awesome progression. She used to take a grumpy old man for five dollar bets. Now she's taking other competitors for twenties. They don't think it be like it is, but it do. | |||

I bet she enjoyed that! | |||
