lapsedagnosticShe won! Woo-hooo! During the exhibition match yesterday she pinned a boy from the other team. Sadly, neither MLW nor I could make it to the match, so we didn't see it. *sigh*. So, in three matches, she's gone from being pinned to losing on points after three rounds to pinning the opponent. (she also said the hardest part was putting her face into his side, cause, apparently, he had no concept of personal hygiene.)
On the negative side, she said that the opposing coach wouldn't shake her hand, and the boy was incredibly dejected 'cause he lost to a girl. And then when she got home to her other house (that split custody thing), she ran downstairs to tell her step mom that she won, she was told "girls shouldn't wrestle." Argh.Damn argh.
She's bouncing high, though, and it's way cool. I think winning has put a whole new face on the whole "damn this is hard work" and "damn it's hard fighting social peer pressure" thing.
I wonder if she's gonna follow this up in high school?
