“Play Time”
What in the world is she doing up in the air? I’ve never seen anything like this! What’s holding her up in the air? Well, she’s either on her way up or on her way down.
You know, it might not be a lady at all. I’ve never seen arms like that on a woman. And those hairy legs and toes. Maybe it’s a man in a dress. That dress is awful showy.
No, no. It’s a woman. She’s got a jumper on, and you can tell because of the shape of her body and her legs. Although...she is a bit chunky. She sure has big legs! I feel sorry for her. That’s a lot of weight to carry around! She wouldn’t have any fun taking walks; her knees would rub every step she took!
Her name is Hazel Warner and she’s catching a frisbee. She’s at the beach. She’s got those beach things underneath her. She was on top of one of the beach houses and jumped off to catch the frisbee. That would be typical. She’s not throwing it, after all.
Hazel feels good. She’s in her 20s or 30s. She has a family. She wouldn’t be out there doing this by herself. She’s outside at the beach with her boys (or girls!), jumping around, playing, and showing off. She feels happy. She’s thrilled because she’s exercising and because she caught the frisbee. Maybe even repeated times. Maybe they’ve been playing all afternoon.
She’s good. Most people aren't very good at that. I’d be down on the ground and would turn my ankle!
Next, Hazel will land. Then she’ll go to the doctor for those legs. She’s going to have a medical problem. She’ll twist her ankle, or her knees might demand some attention. She’s showing off now, but she’ll have to pay for it.
But she’ll be okay. She’s certainly healthy looking...although, it will take a long time to heal and it will always be weak after that. She’ll learn her lesson, but she’ll still be happy.
