I’m not the only one

One of the perks of my job is meeting NFL players. So far this year I’ve met two Cardinals (which isn’t just a baseball team BTW), Eagle Sheldon Brown and recently “retired” John Lynch. Earlier this week I was at a photo shoot with Omar Gaither from the Eagles. The promotion is centered around getting kids to eat breakfast so there were seven students of various ages from first to eighth grades.
While they were sitting around the table “modeling,” first grader J looked at Omar and said, “You have a funny nose.”
How horrible is it that my first thought was that at least other people hear inappropriate comments, too?
A couple weeks ago I saw or heard something about a draft for a new women’s football league. I joked with a friend, who loves the story and frequently references it, that a big girl like me should try out. After seeing yet another picture where I’m almost as tall as an NFL player, maybe I should.
Rereading that post reminded me that I looking for a meeting room Temple University last month when a student selling mark complimented my blush (that I never wear).
