I taught Charlie how to play basketball

My voice is a bit weird but I did it! I taught Charlie a trick. I want to teach him others now but I don't know where to start? :D

I didn't "teach" my 3 lil' ones how to play basketball, but they DID pick it up quite quickly. Now every time I see one of 'em on the hoop I tell 'em to "dunk the ball" and that's precisely what they do. I'm now waitin' on their bowlin' ball & pins playset to arrive. That outta be a hoot!

Me, I STINK at sports. ANY and ALL sports. I couldn't shoot a basket or even getta spare in bowlin' if my life depended on it.

So once again, my birdies make me look like a silly fool. But that's a-o-k by ME, cuz they're just so darn cute!
