On Basketball


Me: "Guess which team your basketball game is against this weekend?"
Claire: "Which?"
Me: "Margot and Jane's.  But of course you can't play because of the broken finger."
Claire: "Yeah, that's too bad."
Me:"Wait, did you want to play against your sisters?"
Claire: "Yes. I want to smite them."
[pause]
Claire: "Well, I don't want to smite Jane, since it's her first year.  But I do want to smite Margot."
Me: [Silence]
Claire: "Then next year, I will smite them both."
