Wednesday-Bensday! Special Sandlot Analogy Edition

“When we got to your Aunt Suzy’s house last week, we watched The Sandlot. Everything makes a lot more sense now.”

“Really, Dad? How so?”

“Well, you’ve got Smalls, the new kid in town. And you’ve got Benny, who teaches Smalls how to play. And together they take on and tame a big, grumpy dog.”

“Wow, yeah. I guess that’s true. But, honestly, we never thought about it on so many levels. I didn’t even remember that there was someone named Benny in the movie. Really we just wanted an excuse to say ‘You’re killing me, Smalls!’* more often.”

…

Tasha (my parents’ “big, grumpy” dog who would never admit how much fun she has playing with Ben and Smalls) would like to remind you to visit Kaya, Rufus, Ted, Gus, and Zapp this week.

*Thanks for the link, Stephen!

    Tasha looks like a good playmate for Ben and Smalls, even if she is big and grumpy.

    Okay, that is a hilarious analogy. And quite deep, too! Did you and Tim put that much thought into it, or is that just a coincidence?

    Whoa! That’s quite the analogy you’ve got there!

    Cute puppies, too! :)

    wow, i completely forgot about that movie. your dad is a genius, making all these crazy connections.

    which makes sense, they say at least 40% of geniuses are completely mad. MAD I TELL YOU!
