No Dunking

Jason came home from the church this week after a Young Men's activity (to make this story better you need to know that Jason is the Young Men's president, so you know the kind of example he should be setting :) ) Anyway when he got home from the activity he proceeded to tell me that one of the 12 year old boys he worked with told Jason that he couldn't dunk a basketball. Jason told him to name the dunk and he would do it. The boy did and so of course Jason did it. He made the dunk, however, my sweet husband doesn't know his own strength because the whole backboard shattered. Glass went everywhere, luckily no one was underneath it except for Jason. He came away with just a small cut on his leg. The boys think that he is a hero, however, Jason is a little bit nervous for his meetings on Sunday.

What can I say... basketball is in his blood. And from the look of things so far, it's in Jarren's too. I hope he doesn't shatter any church basketball hoops though.

That is so funny! Word is going to get around and he will be every boys hero, not just the young mens.

I was there and it was so funny!! The boys gave him crap all night during our activity. NO one would let him live it down. We did notice on sunday though that the new one is up and in big red letters is says "No DUNKING" haha I think your calling is pretty safe Jason all the boys love you!!!

My boys had already heard the story by sunday also, and were excited to see the broken backboard. They were a little disappointed to see the new one already in place with those big red letters saying "no dunking". Though they were quick to point out that the other old hoop doesn't say anything about not dunking on it. So they figure it is still fair game...at least until it shatters! ha,ha.

C'mon Andrea, you need to rewrite this post in a boasting fashion. How many white guys do you know that can dunk, let alone break a backboard doing it?!! You should take out a small section in the sacrament program boasting it for a few months.

The funny part was watching Bro Hatch trying so hard not to laugh about it the whole night. He had to maintain his seriousness due to his calling.
