Treasure, Story

Years ago, as a young boy I played little league soccer. Our team was called "the dudes"- we had blue and white team uniforms. Each week a player was asked to take the team uniforms home to wash. After a muddy game and losing 25-0, I was assigned to wash duty. Well, my washing failed as the uniforms came out pink and white. Imagine now the "dudettes".
