An Exeptional View of Life

I'm not old enough to play baseball or football.  I'm not eight yet.  My mom told me when you start baseball, you aren't going to be able to run that fast because you had an operation.  I told Mom I wouldn't need to run that fast.  When I play baseball, I'll  just hit them out of the park.  Then I'll be able to walk.  ~Edward J. McGrath, Jr., "An Exceptional View of Life," quoted in Chicken Soup for the Soulby Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen, 1993
