And Would Somebody Answer That Damned Phone?

local6.com has the story of a near-tragic high school track and field accident in Florida (I blogged about a rash of similar injuries hit the Fort three years ago):

LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. -- A Lauderdale Lakes high school senior who was hit on her head with a shot put during track practice will be back out on the field.

The mother of 17-year-old Mona Hassan says her daughter has already been asking if they won.
"If who won, dear?"
"The Red Sox, Mom. Did they win the World Series?

(I'm only joking about this because Miss Hassan wasn't seriously hurt; I'm not that cruel.)

Would it have been funnier if she asked if Brooklyn won the series? :)

Well, she was asking about the 1945 World Series...
