The other day, I overheard the following conversation between my daughter (age 13) and her friend.
Friend: When you pick a sport in high school you should try tennis. (Friend is on tennis team)
Daughter: I already have a sport.
Friend: Oh that's right. You mountain bike.
Daughter: Yes, I do. It's awesome. And terrifying. And sometimes a little bit dangerous. It's totally amazing. You should try it.
Sounds about right, don't you think?
And this smile is pure joy.
