The Football Game pt. 2

The Players　

I was a hair taller than most kids my age, but a little bit skinnier. I did go through a chunky stage, a couple of times, but I was mostly thin which made me look longer and lankier than I really was. John was shorter than me by a head length, and had a lean, stocky build to him. Aaron was also a head lower than John, but bony and scrawny. If you put us in a row, one in front of the other, we could rest our chins on top of each others head comfortably.

Our normal schedule, after breakfast, was to go outside and kind of wake up if you will. This might have entailed throwing a frisbee lightly, just to toss and catch, or hanging off the low branch of the big tree near the road, stretching out but never climbing, or maybe, if one happened to be laying around, picking up a basketball and shooting a couple easy shots, but never a rough game of football.
