Caleb is playing spring t-ball again this year (second season – next year we move up to coach-pitch!), and he decided that THIS season, he wanted to wear a cup, like the big boys do. So, he and Mom made a trip to Academy and picked up a pee-wee cup. He’s VERY proud of this cup and told us, “It’s a PEE-WEE CUP!” (It’s also bright yellow, and apparently Caleb was disappointed he couldn’t get red or blue, but that’s beside the point.) He decided he wanted to wear it to t-ball practice today, but it was still in the packaging. So, I suggested he take it upstairs to have Dad help him open it up and get it on right. After a brief explanation of how the cup and brief worked, Caleb went into the bathroom to try putting it on himself. When he came out, this is what I overheard:<\/p>\n
B: Does it\u00a0pinch anywhere?<\/p>\n
C: No.<\/p>\n
B: Is it covering everything?<\/p>\n
C: Yes.<\/p>\n
B: Does that hurt? (I assume at this point he did a “cup check”)<\/p>\n
C: No.<\/p>\n
B: Does it move around on you when you walk or move?<\/p>\n
C: No. (he’s a kid of few words lately, can you tell?)<\/p>\n
B: Okay, I think you’ve got ’em covered, then!<\/p>\n
There then followed a brief discussion on what to do if he notices the cup moving around or starting to pinch during a game, but I couldn’t hear all of it.<\/p>\n
