Come with me to the park and play basketball for the very first time. Lay quietly on the ground, feeling sad when you aren’t Kareem Abdul Jabar the very first time you try to throw the ball into the hoop. Listen to me carefully while we watch the bigger boys play, and I point out how sometimes they miss. Count how many times they miss with me, and understand what I mean when I explain that they are practicing. Get up and chase the ball again with me, try to slap it out of my hands while i dribble, laugh and squeal with delight when you do. Allow me to be the hoop, 3 feet hight, just your size. And cheer happily when you make a slam dunk. Stay with me, play with me. Win my heart little boy! I love you so much.
