The fans all watched from the bleachers, as the lacrosse players warmed up before the game. Some were stretching while others practiced stick skills. All were a little edgy about the game coming up.
“Man, I hate this game. Why do I even bother playing it? I swear to god if I miss this shot one more time,” thought Grant as he wound up for a final attempt to get a shot in the net.
“Hey! Easy there cowboy!” shouted some stranger whose own defect in intelligence had placed him a “mere” few feet away from Grant’s shot.
Not in the mood for this kid’s crap Grant looked back at him filled with hate. So he just threw out some old phrase in the back of his mind.
“You know, its funny how genetics work, cause last night your mom couldn’t stop screaming that in my ear.”
(The retarded kid paused trying to get it then…) “You asshole, my mom has been dead for about five years!” he shouted back. Grant in a bit of a mess, and not fully knowing what he had just gotten himself into felt slightly sorry for the kid and produced a lie to help.
“Yeah, well my mom has been gone for sometime to…”
All of a sudden their conversation was interrupted by a scream of a woman.
“Hey Grant! What are you doing there just chit chatting, its time to play, lets get a move on!” shouted his real mom.
“I thought you just said your mom was dead you lying piece of shit.”
“Hey, I can explain. It’s actually very personal though. You see, I was conceived in a test tube. My egg donator is the one yelling at me, she’s… my sister/mother/... Since the other one died a few years ago,” he said trying to escape from the trap. But once again fate was cruel.
“Hey Grant, come on you heard your mother, get moving,” came the shout of a middle aged guy from the stands.
“Wait a second you have a dad and a mom, I thought you said…”
“Actually, its not what it looks like, he’s my… sperm giver’s brother. He was also adopted.
“Give it up dude, I know you are full of shit. Too bad, now I’m going to have to kick your ass for wasting my time and the mom joke, cause you don’t disrespect the dead.” Then a call came from another section from the stands…
“Hey Billy, what are you doing down there they are all waiting for you on the side-line, shouted “Billy’s” mom.
As Bill looked away from my eyes I just said, “Guess we are even now, and for the record I was kidding about the test tube conceiving thing.”
“Sure freak,” replied Billy as he walked away.
