Last night my son had a baseball game, and there was a kid on the other team that could hit the ball unbelievably well . . . but he was a very slow runner. He hit a ball way back over the center fielder's head, and barely made it to first base (he wasn't a speed demon). Next kid is batting, and I was watching the 3rd base coach (I like to try to figure out their signs 
). The coach is patting his head, his chest, his pants and not in any order that I could figure out. I was just thinking that he had the most confusing signs in the world . . . when the "speed demon" takes off to steal second. He gets thrown out easily, and when he was making his way back to the dug-out the coach says, "What were you thinking?" The kid says, "You gave me the steal sign." The coach says, "I didn't give you a sign." Then the coach thinks for a minute and says, "I was looking for my sunglasses."
