Great story.
I was round at my mums last night. now she's tennis mad and has been a member of the local tennis club for about 40 odd years and regular player in their teams. Well last season the captain of the third team asked her to drop down to the fourth team to give a younger (but not better) player a chance. My mum was a little taken aback (to say the least) but gracefully (at the club) accepted it,but didn't take up playing for the fourth team, well she was "too old for the third team, so must be too old for the fourth. Boy did we get to know about it! Last week whilst playing in a bit of a knock with the ladies third team captain, whom my mum was thrashing, the lady asked my mum to play for the third team this year!!!! Kaboooooooooooom!!!! Did she give the lady in question a rocket! "If I was too old last year, then I must be too old this year!". And that was that. My mum, although now missing out on another year of team tennis, has a lovely warm glow.
PS My mum is 78
