Death of the Hanging Tennis Ball

I am sure you are all aware of the hanging tennis ball trick. You know, hang a tennis ball in the garage so that it hits the windshield of your car so you know where to stop. Allows for the most perfect parking job ever!

Well, since we have a garage, and use it to park our cars, of course we'd have the hanging tennis ball. In light of the theme this week - rolling things up in the car window - I thought I'd share another story with you.

This morning I saw a tennis ball on the floor of the garage and asked Ryan where it came from. He told me a story: DEATH OF THE HANGING TENNIS BALL

It goes a little like this; From Ryan's point of view:

"I parked my car in the garage with the window down. Later in the day I was working on my bike and the tennis ball got knocked a few times, because who can resist the hanging tennis ball? I needed to leave to run some errands and so I got in my car, rolled up my window and backed out. Just after I backed up a little bit there was a pop and then a tennis ball in my lap! I had rolled the tennis ball up in my window!"

So, there you have it. The truth about the death of the hanging tennis ball in our garage...

Anyone else have a story to share about rolling up items in your window? Please do tell!
