I mentioned a fisher price basketball setup in an earlier post. well, a little after that, warren came in the house, bringing me the hoop. "It's broke, Gramma."

I know, baby, I'm sorry.
He went back out. five minutes later he drags in the backstop. "Here Gramma. You fix it."
I cant fix it baby.
five minutes after that, he is bringing the pole/support/whatever you call it up the steps.
I semi fixed it. Had to do something. It's not gonna hold.
But you shoulda seen that 3 year old sized kiddo lugging that four and a half foot long pole.
As far as that goes, the backstop is wider than he is tall.


PS, I did eventually get it together properly. If he could be persistent, so could I
