Roller derby

We went to watch my friend Jillian's roller derby team practice. Ella had lots of questions. She wanted to know what they were doing, and why they want to be in the front (basically, tried to understand the rules of the game). and also, why do they keep falling. i'm just glad for the opportunity to expose her to sports, and to women's sports in particular. something about breaking out of the traditional boy-girl roles: girls don't have to be princesses to be awesome; and high-speed, energetic and forceful contact sport isn't just for boys.
