Sizing up the situation

At the beginning of the summer, Kevin and I joined a softball team that Kevin found through a Craigslist ad. Softball has been something we've done together since before we officially started dating. It's not like you can go wrong with camaraderie, sportsmanship and a little physical activity!

Sunny, the Green Monsters coach, sent out an email for shirt ideas. I sent her to CustomInk.com, a place I've used for softball shirts in the past. Sunny designed our "uniforms" and took orders for the shirts. I am familiar with the clothes CustomInk makes and know that they run a bit big (plus, I hate baggy t-shirts) so I ordered a medium.

The team all met just before the season began so that we could practice and see each other's skill levels. At that practice, we each paid $55 for our slots and shirts.

We were given our shirts at the first game. Sunny - a cute, skinny, bouncy cheerleader - brought me my shirt with words I will never forget. Handing me the medium I ordered, she said "I have a large left over if you want it instead."

Excuse me?

So, you can imagine my joy when I was handed a free shirt today and without me saying anything about my size, the girl looks at me and says "The smallest I have is a medium. Is that OK?"

I could have kissed her.
