One little tennis ball!
My boy has a tennis racket. His best mate Dan has a tennis racket. His big sister has a balcony on the first floor of our house. She gets mad when the boy and his mate knock tennis balls onto her balcony. It’s great sport!
Our house has a flat roof with a single drain in it. The drain opening is slightly smaller than a tennis ball. It rained last night. And our house leaked. Mostly because the tennis ball was acting as a plug and water on the roof was almost knee deep.
Strangely, once the tennis ball was removed the water stopped pouring through the light fittings 
Small boys have alot to answer to!

Cute story - I was actually out yesterday playing awith my boys after school. Kyle, who just turned 5, has one wicked swing … especially when he actually hits the ball.

At least your son is into sports. Most of the kids these days, especially boys, would rather play tennis, basketball, etc. on PSPs, PCs, Arcades, XBox, Wii and lots of other techno gadgets. For me, the clogged was worth it. Anyway, thanks for posting this. Enjoyed reading this.

Indeed. I am, apparently, a vile mother because they don’t have any of those things. Just tamagotchis and their appeal is short lived! It’s interesting when he has friends around.
Those with the gadgets wander around aimlessly and can’t wait to get home.
Those without create mayhem and noise and roar around happily. It’s harder work, but I much prefer these kids!
It’s different with girls, they seem happy to dance and play regardless. The contrast isn’t there!
