Rarely am I witness to the nice things that Nathan says about me to others (although he assures me that this happens often). However, the other night I thought it was my lucky day when he had had a bit too much to drink with his friends and the discussion centered on my sports acumen.
Him: Did you know Hanna was a champion jello wrestler her freshmen year of college? She's always been into the risky sports, unafraid to sacrifice her body. She was a goalie when she played soccer. The catcher in softball. She rock climbs. She's fearless.
Me: Oh wow, Nathan, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about my athletic abilities. Aww, I love you so much!
Him: Yep, she's definitely got plenty of courage. Skill, on the other hand...
ha! I forgot about your jello wresting championship! He has a good memory...skill is in the eye of the beholder :)
ReplyDeletePlenty of people have skill but lack the courage to try. I think courage and fearlessness is a much better quality to have!
ReplyDeleteHa! Me too, but most of my in-laws-to-be have both. They give me points for trying, at least, though they all secretly hope I'm on the other team. Nathan is a bit of a scaredy cat, so hopefully our future children get his skill and my fearlessness and not the other way around.
ReplyDeleteHillarious, Hanna!! You were a champ, and you were usually the first one to dive into anything. I would have just run around the outside of the Jello pit to see if they could get me:)
