My daughter wished me luck before my most recent Moth GrandSLAM performance then promptly retracted it.
/I received this incredibly sweet but slightly parroted message from my kids just before I took the stage in Brooklyn to compete in my tenth Moth GrandSLAM last week.
When I saw my daughter the next day, she asked how I did.
“Second place.”
“Again?” she asked. In ten GrandSLAMs, I’ve only won once and finished in second place seven times. Apparently my six year-old daughter is aware of this. She shook her head in disgust.
“I don’t know why I wish you good luck.”
