August 11

Things that caught my eye at the megamart.............

We were in the golf glove aisle.

(Digression:  If you've ever watched golf on tv, you know that the announcers pronounce the game "goff," not "golf."  We don't know why...............

So -- in our house, when we're discussing "goff," we use "proper" pronunciation.  We buy "goff" balls, and, you guessed it, "goff goves" (not "gloves," "goves"), and before we can play goff, we have to put our "cubs" in the car......

End of Digression.)


My better half warms up by hitting lightweight wiffle goff balls against the house.  He was looking for more of those, on the 11th....  (Hmmm.  We haven't discussed this.  "Wiffa goff baws," perhaps???????????)

He looked at goff items, and my attention was captured by the teen weeny baseball bats.  Awww.  So cute.  And look, they have PINK teeny weeny bats.  Excellent.  I wonder how long they've had those?





T-ball is for the really little kids.  Four or five, I think.  The ball is stationary, on a "tee," and the kids hit the ball off the tee.

Aww, look, they have teeny little pink gloves, too, and pink t-ball helmets!



A baseball glove is much bigger than the hand that fits inside it.  An adult man's glove would easily be over twice the size of this little glove.



All this pink stuff has got to make little girls feel more a part of all of this, should they want to play.  Hooray for people getting more choices about what to do!!!!!



And now for something completely different -- in another part of the store.  Gluten-free dishwashing liquid!  Aren't you glad????  I bet it's cholesteral-free, too!


I mean, we're glad it's not tested on animals, and glad it contains no animal products, but ... sheesh.

We showed it to my daughter, who said that some hotel she stayed in last year had gluten-free shampoo, and made a big deal of that on the front of the bottle.  She also noted that the cookie on her pillow each night she spent in that hotel did not indicate it was gluten free.  She wondered if she was supposed to drink the shampoo and wash her hair with the cookie......

So bizarre, when they bother to tell us that something we are not supposed to eat in the first place is gluten-free............................

Goff is not my sport. I don't really have one, unless it's watching cycling on TV...

That could explain my hips.
