The kid across the street.
This summer, he had a broken arm. One day, he was sitting on the porch watching his brother and friends run through the sprinkler. He couldn't, couldn't get the cast wet. I walked over and asked if he knew how to play marbles. He didn't but, wanted to learn how. I fronted him 10 marbles to get him started.
Today: he came over to tell me he got some marbles for Christmas, and handed me back 10 marbles. I'm pretty sure they are the same 10 I gave him to start. (because they look to be 30+ yrs old and I know he was keeping them separate)
Me: WOW!, that's cool. Thank you. Where's the rest of my marbles?
Him: gives me a wtf look and says, I won those off you!
Me: chuckling. That you did, lad.
Him: as soon as the snow is gone, I'm gonna win more!
Then he ran off.
The whole thing makes me smile, I smile extra though because, a now 8yr old is so interested in an old game.
