JUST NOT DARTS

My daughter is good at many things.

Her amazing talents include such diverse things as painting, taking care of people, and spreading laughter and smiles.  She tells fabulous stories, even when she is giggling uncontrollably while telling them.  She is creative, thoughtful, and loyal, but she is no pushover; hand her a bowl of bullshit, and you're liable to be wearing (or eating) it within seconds.

There are some things my daughter isn't so good at, though, such as singing (I do love her, but she warbles), walking anywhere near curbs, and playing darts.

In a case of full disclosure, I'm not sure she has ever played darts before.  That being said, the darts that she throws go everywhere. People in the store next door to the pub are running for cover.  Her darts end up in the wall, on the floor, and one even pierces the Tiffany-style Sam Adams light fixture high above the dart board.  (The light fixture has many holes in it, making it obvious that my daughter's dart-throwing misses are not the first errant darts in the pub.)

My daughter does at excel at many cool things; NOT darts.

However, like everything else she does, humor and an excellent attitude get her through the somewhat lopsided games.  She may not be good at darts, but she is great at life.  If she isn't, I will certainly find out after posting these pictures of her dart-playing prowess.
