"I think this glove might be too big for Jon."
Alex hollowed in the baseball glove in his hand with his fist, just lightly breaking it in with soft punches. There was a stray baseball on the shelf that he used to toss into the glove just to get a feel for the grip. It fit his hand just fine, but then, Jon's hand wasn't quite as long. He threw the ball into the glove a few more times before tossing it aside and peeling the glove off his hand. "It's got a good texture though," he said. "If only it was a little smaller."
He looked around the shelves and picked out the same glove from the same brand name, though the dimensions reading on the tag where smaller. He turned the glove around in his hands, inspecting it for flaws. If his kid was interested in baseball, he was going to get the best equipment out there. "I think this one is good. Where is he? I want him to try it before we get it." He was growing by the second it seemed, and his old glove no longer fit him properly.
Alex was anxious to leave though. They still had to find Greg's birthday present, and it wasn't something they were going to find in this store. How could two kids from the same parents be so completely different? He was lucky they got along though and that Jon kept Greg from getting beat up. That was the last thing they needed, for Greg to come home with a black eye and a bloody nose.
