Toothless Water Sports

Date: 3/17/2020

My mom joined a new sports team. I can’t remember what the sport was called, but it involved swimming across a pool sideways, and then whenever you came across a lane line, you had to throw a ball over it. I tried it once, but I didn’t see any lane lines at all— it was like they disappeared when I got in the water. For some reason, none of the other women on the team had teeth. The coach told my mom that there was a competition coming up, and she’d better lose her teeth in time because women with teeth were bad at this sport. She said “no thanks, I’m out” and walked away.
