The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 22, 2020

Careful, Toby. We don’t want your pant to spontaneously burst into flames.

Does it involve a horsefly and a pursuit?

It better be a good one or you’d be grounded for a very very long time in my house.

I’m gonna bet Toby’s racquet was made by the folks who made Calvin’s bike.

I’m gonna bet that Greg has teenage sons.

Everyone knows the key to becoming a noted professional tennis player is the ability to throw a world-class tantrum.

Interesting. Walls aren’t very strong, but tennis rackets are under a lot of stress from the strings. I think it would have warped.

Hearing Your side of the story does not mean it will stop your impending doom,

As Eddie enters the room he says, “What’s all the racket about?”

“Well, I was working on my overhand smash, when my overhand… smashed…” ☺

Does the racket have a side to tell?

Why Toby?!

That would never happen in my house. It’s built completely in cinder blocks….

Kid…you are DEAD MEAT WALKING right now…lol

Grab your camera. You might want to record this…..show it at his wedding.

“Toby, you got some ‘spainin’ to do.”

I have never lived in a home where the wall breaks not the racket. Even if it’d be a hockey stick.

I’m fortunate, my teenaged sons only yelled at or about each other, there was never any property damage. Thank God they are adults in their 30’s now. :P
