Finally, I could play volleyball!!!!!
One of my local beach volleyball friends was coaching the high school boys’ indoor volleyball team at that time so I helped his coaching. Well, actually, I really enjoyed playing with them!
However, there was a funny story typical of me…….
The gym where we practised was very far from where I was staying but another of my beach volleyball friends drove me there, but when we got there, I realised one big stupid mistake which I’d made!!!!!!!!!
The practice was indoors so I should’ve worn socks and shoes but I was wearing my beach sandals and no socks!!!!! I just couldn’t believe what I did!!!!
My friends were talking happily but I had to butt into their conversation!
I said ” Listen! I’m so stupid! Look at my feet!” And they looked at my feet.
They said ” Mi~na~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
One friend said ” Don’t you remember? You had a terrible accident with your feet a couple of years ago! You should take better care of your feet! You’ve already had a terribly painful experience! I still remember that clearly! How can you forget that! Oh, god~~~~, Mina! What are you going to do?”
Another friend said ” They’re all boys whose shoes are much bigger than yours so you can’t borrow any shoes from anybody! Yes! I remember when you had that accident, you couldn’t walk! You were hopping but you bound some tapes to your feet to kill the pain!”
I said ” Yes! I know! I do remember, but I’m scatterbrained so it can’t be helped, can it? I’ll play in my bare feet! Don’t worry!”
My first friend said ” What? bare feet?! You know the floor is concrete!”
I said ” I’ll try anyway!”
And I played for 3 hours. We played non-stop but luckily my feet were okay! However, after playing, my friends reminded me that I should remember where I’m going to play volleyball each time!”
I’ll write about it more tomorrow!
