Parents Try Harder

Famed sports writer Rob Hummel gave his daughter, Jennie, that talk that must be given. Jennie and her mother, Julene, have had considerable disagreement about the nature of Jennie's 8th grade graduation party.

"She makes me so mad," Jennie groused.

"Now Jennie," Rob said, "only you get to decide whether you're mad or not. No one else can make you mad."

He just got a call on his personal cell phone, in the press box at Cheatham Bank Park, where he's covering the game between the Johnsons and the Borbons for The Old Wierd Herald. "I know you said nobody else can make me mad, Daddy," said his daughter, "but Mom is really trying hard."
