Interjections!

"show excitement, or emotion!.... 

So when you're happy (Hurray!) or sad (Aw!)
Or frightened (Eeeeeek!) or mad (Rats!)
Or excited (Wow!) or glad (Hey!)
An interjection starts a sentence right!"

Or how about INTERCEPTIONS!!!!!!!  They "show excitement or emotion, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah... YEA!"

What, you might ask, is the purpose of this post?  Well, my brother scored a touchdown in the football game Friday night and the interception is causing me, and the rest of Lima, to shout interjections!  (Yes, he did score for our team, unlike the above video...) 

Let me tell you why this is such exciting news when every Friday night all around the United States there are high school football players scoring touchdowns left and right....

Eli is not the biggest guy you'll ever meet.  Until a year (or less) ago he was probably one of the smaller guys in the high school.  But let me tell you, that kid has worked his butt off since 7th grade playing football.  He loves it!  And he continued to work hard at every practice and lift weights in the off-season even though he didn't get much playing time.  If I were him, I would have quit a long time ago.  But he loves football and didn't let his size stop him.  After countless hours standing on the sidelines watching his teammates play he's finally gotten a chance to play varsity this year and play quite a bit.  And then, what do ya know?!  He goes and intercepts the ball and runs it back for a touchdown!!!  Can I just say I am one proud older sister.  I hate that I wasn't at the game and I really wish I could see him play a game his senior year.  But maybe it's better since when my mom was telling me all about the play on the phone I started crying.  I can't be crying at football games now!!  I have a reputation to uphold....

There he goes!

 If you want to see the video of him click here.  It's the second play they show.

"Darn, that's the end."
