At the Basketball Game with the Other Woman

I got there a little late, but stayed for the entire game.

She came in the third quarter, and left before the game was over.

I watched the game with rapt attention.

She watched intermittently, messaging a friend on her laptop while she watched.

Why did he spring into action, playing ten times more energetically, when she arrived?


Pondering how this female, not a decade and a half old, who offered my son only slight attention to my full attention, can have this amazing affect on him.
