Year 4, Day 353

"I don't like football anymore!" Miles proclaimed the morning of Super Bowl LVI. "I like basketball now!" Hours later, while at our friends' place watching The Big GameTM, Miles demonstrated an interest in a different ball-related game. Peg-Your-Friend-in-the-Face Ball, to be specific.
