0 - 0, Lovers
It is my friend Callie's fault, but now when I play tennis I start every game announcing the score at "Lovers"..... if I'm playing a friend they are used to it, but when I play a new opponent they always end up asking me about it - and sometimes even using it, too - by mid match. Callie also calls the score at 15-30 "Happy Hour".... won't lie, I've stolen that one too. Tennis is such a happy place for me. I don't care if I am watching a match or playing a match - truly, the sport brings me a crazy amount of joy and I just wish everyone in the world has something, as trivial as this game, they love as much as I love it. Because it makes me just so happy - what a gift! I love it because you can start as young as you want, but man, the older you get this game seems to be like fine wine. Almost every time I'm playing on a court I'll look beside me to see players truly twice my age out there still swinging their racquet. Life-long sport... ye
