Hang Time

No, the title of this post does not mean I'm gonna sit here and go on and on about Michael Jordan's 1987 Slam Dunk Contest win. This is a new game we play out in the park that I made up.
Dad puts you up to hang on the branch and then lets go, and then my friends count and you hold on as long as you can until...
And then it's someone else's turn. First I held the record at 26 seconds, but then my friend Carson went and beat that pretty handily with 46. I didn't feel all that badly though because Carson is six and looks like she is going to be Venus Williams when she grows up.

In the 3-4 age group, 26 seconds is second best in the nation, and when you're behind this kid, well, you gotta figure that's just gonna happen.
Oh, and that's Omar down in the corner there. He doesn't hang from trees but you'd think by talking to him that he lives in one.
