" Of course they’re going to make fun of you. They’re middle-school boys raised in a highly competitive, testosterone-fueled environment. That’s how they psych each other up.”

“And you know this how?”

“I watch the sportball on the television. Also I played peewee football when I was younger.”

“You did play football!”

He laughs. “Yeah, when I was like a quarter the size I am now. They had me as a running back.”

“I don’t know what that means.”

“It means I ran real fast.”

“You? Move fast?”

“I know. One of life’s great mysteries. "
