John and Maddy are sitting in the 4th row at the NBA playoffs. John is totally into it, and Maddy is totally over it! When John asks why she's in such a bad mood, she tells the story of her 8th grade phys. ed. trauma where she got wolloped in the head by a basketball. Things go from bad to worse when a basketball comes flying out of the NBA game and nearly knocks her head off again. John laughs hysterically and she goes ballistic. When asked by John why she can't just lighten up and laugh at herself, she announces that she refuses to laugh at something that hurt her very deeply, and marches out. A great look at how nurturing the pain of the past can ruin our joy in the present.
A very funny, active piece.
