"Back to our ball. It could be a baseball. Now, with the baseball, you've got to round up. We can be a softball here. I'm throwing it. Maybe there's a batter over there, so you have to have thrown it, watch the ball. I missed it. Went way over my head. I'm going to find a spot, pick that up. Let's pretend we just have a person. We're throwing, they're throwing, we're throwing it, they're throwing it. Then I'm going to get a little harder. Now that action is happening back and forth. Wow. Now, I want to fool him and I'm going to throw it this way to throw him off. A little grounder. Then he's going to throw back a grounder. Except this time, the ball got really big. Anything can happen in your mime imagination."
