Hey friend; you're back!
It's Morgan again.
"Do you play basketball?"
If my husband had a quarter for every time he got asked this question, we'd be SO rich!
In college, Andy worked at a fast food restaurant. Corporate sent in a man to talk to the employees about avoiding stereotyping customers. He gave some examples like, "All cops eat donuts," and "You throw like a girl."
When he asked for suggestions from the employees, Andy said, "All tall people play basketball." Everyone nodded and they moved on. But as they started paying attention to how many times customers would ask, it became a running joke.
Andy did play basketball in high school and he still plays basketball with some friends on Fridays. They get up super early and play before work.
I'm only 5'7" (a foot shorter than Andy), so I don't get this question anymore, but I used to. When I was in high school, I grew a lot in a short amount of time and it made it's way onto the most popular questions I got asked.
My answer, however is no. I didn't even start to like basketball until I met Andy. He and his family are huge Kentucky Wildcat fans and now I can proudly say that I am too!
How about you? Do you play basketball?
Go Do Great Things!
